Hi Gerald.
The CCleaner download page is somewhat counterintuitive. However,
once you activate one of the many download links, the standard
installer will get downloaded to your default downloads directory.
Although CCleaner used to install Avast by default, there is good
news. First, using the Jaws cursor in the installer, you can uncheck
the relevant box. But better still, the last three versions of
CCleaner standard did not automatically install any third party
software. The check box for Avast is now absent.
