CCleaner, is one of the most popular Windows file cleaner applications. But in the last time, and since Piriform developed it, it began to create many problems for those who use it.
This time the application installer adds the program to your computer tours CCleaner Browser if you are not careful during installation.
CCleaner offers third-party bundles. Technically not all offers are from a third party, such as Avast Browser, or Avast antivirus are owned by Avast, its parent company Piriform which is developing the CCleaner application.
CCleaner users who upgrade the software or trying to reinstall it using the full installer will definitely notice these offers.
Crapware is available by default and if users do not pay attention to the installation application, they can install third-party programs on their devices.
The installation offer for the CC browser appears to have been integrated into the 5.59 version of the application. Piriform has released the 5.60 version recently.
One user he remarked that after the installation of CCleaner there was also the CCleaner Browser on his device and that the program had undertaken to automatically open any HTML file.
The CCleaner installer of the new application 5.60 included an offer to install Avast Free Antivirus on a trial, while another installation attempt did not show any "offer."
It is likely that Piriform has withdrawn the offer in the meantime or that it is occasionally available to some users.
The installer offers its CC Browser by default with two options: the first installs the browser, and the second makes it the default browser. The second option also affects file associations in the system.
If you installed CC Browser you can remove it like any other application. In Windows 10, you use the two Windows-I keys to open the Settings application and select Applications to display the list of installed programs.
CCleaner Browser should be on this list and you can choose to uninstall it from your system. You may also need to change the file associations if they changed when installing CCleaner.
