I bought ccleaner Pro a long time ago so I don't get any of that nor them trying to include Avast.

There was an interesting opportunity at the bottom of the release announcement email I got...
Attachment 215696
I participated in the survey (about 10 questions, and a couple of places to enter free-form comments and suggestions), and let them know how I felt about CCleaner in its present form and marketing strategy.
I feel a lot better now...
@Brink - do you know if they have a permanent link to get to the latest portable version?

I still use CCleaner but I've blocked all outgoing network traffic for the 64 bit version.
No more adds or update requests. I update when I want.
This is the registry change that results form the Firewall rule I added:
Block CCleaner Outbound Network Access.reg
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules] "{166AAF6D-8FA0-4B45-8AB7-7CE132B2B200}"="v2.28|Action=Block|Active=TRUE|Dir=Out|App=C:\\Program Files\\CCleaner\\CCleaner64.exe|Name=Block CCleaner Outbound Network Access|"
Do the same thing in an elevated PowerShell, by running the following command:
Code:New-NetFirewallRule -Name "CCleaner" -DisplayName "CCleaner Outbound" -Description "Block all outbound network traffic for CCleaner" -Direction Outbound -Program "%ProgramFiles%\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe" -Action Block
