Hi Pondus, David...
Thanks for the replies.
Sorry that I forgot to include the relevant info.
WIN7 HP, 32 bit, running AVAST Free, v18.2.2328, Build 18.2.3825.307.
Defs, 180329.4.
I do not use any of the so called "features" included in AVAST.
Everything NOT needed is un-checked & that includes anything related to updating MY programs.
I have just posted on the CCleaner fora & will await their response as to why they decided it was best for me to update to the latest version.
Thank you both.
Regs, Mike..
ps. Edited to add... If it wasn't done through AVAST, then how did CCleaner know that I had the old/er version on MY....damn M/C?
