  They do not tell you that they are adding to the download. It conflicts with my paid antivirus.

  Here is a link to get rid of everything Avast Antivirus.

  Yes it does not say anything about including avast in the CC Cleaner update. I think I'm going to just shutoff the update.

  I removed CC Cleaner and installed Glary Utilities free. It does everything you need

  Always choose Custom Installation!

  Why are you paying for AV protection? I've used the free version of Avast for years and have yet to get infected by anything.

  Free.

  Free.

  As soon as my free trial of McAfee that came with my PC expired I went to the free version of  Avast with no infections. And it is not invasive like the so called free version of McAfee. McAfee floods you with ads to upgrade to the paid version. I've had the ad pop up right in the middle of a swing. Nothing like that ever happens with Avast free.
