Avast 2014 blocks CCleaner functions on Win7-64 bit systems?

[d4mnm4d]

Hello,
I have installed Avast 2014 Free in 6 computers.
One of them is running Windows XP 32 bit, one is running Windows 7 Starter (32 bit). All seems to work correctly.
The remaining four pcs are running Windows 7 64 bit and in these computers CCleaner can't disable or enable Startup processes. I receive the error "Failed  to enable/disable startup item: Access denied".
I uninstalled Avast, then CCleaner worked correctly again. I reinstalled Avast then CCleaner stopped to work.

Someone can help me please?

I hope I explained well the problem, sorry for my english...

Thank you:) And there was only a problem after the update to 2014.

any news on this? If I had known this would happen I would've stayed on the previous version :/ It's too much of a pain to rollback now.

I know I'm late to this thread but have you tried making the exclusion in avast?

I believe tomorrow there will be new version of CCleaner so maybe problem
with Startup manager will be fixed.

And this pretty much reflects the relevance of majority of 2014-related comments here.

v4.07.4369 (24 Oct 2013)
- Added Windows 8.1 compatibility.

Nevermind the previous versions have not been W8.1 compatible at all, must be Avast fault of course.

I can only test in my own system, CCleaner for Windows 4.07.4369 is working perfectly on Win 8.1 x64.

Just found the solution to the problem, well I know it is a temporally one, but hey till avast will fix this, here is the deal: Go to settings- Troubleshooting and from there deselect avast self defense module, after you disable all the unwanted start-up processes with ccleaner make sure you re-enable avast self-defense module.

In that case why not just use Windows System Config' to change startup processes?
