Not sure where you did get this from, so I quote the posted link for you. ;)

when i select browser cleanup tool, then avast claims it found special tool which prevents BCT from properly listing and removing browser addons
then it ask me to remove or not that tool
BUT it don't tell me What Tool and Where is it ... !

so how i can chose Yes when i don't know why and what? (btw. before update from v8 to v9 the BCT was working fine)

This message is being displayed when BCL detects a so called Browser Protector or Redirector. This is typically a program which prevents BCL from removing add-ons or resettings homepage or search provider. BCL does not know exactly what's there - it just know that there *is* something. It then asks for permission to remove it. But you are right - probably we should improve messaging there in R2.
