Fellow forum members and visitors,
I just got an answer to my questions about this issue from a moderator(Andavari) on the piriform.com/ccleaner forum. You can read his response on their forum HERE.

"CCleaner v5.32.6129 is the last version without any influence from the owner Avast. But old versions will have two bugs in them that can damage Windows 10, in particular, the cleaners for Windows.old and Fonts Cache should be disabled/unticked in old versions and/or exclusions put in place so those files can never be deleted.
I only use the portable ZIP version and it has never tried to install anything else not even before I started blocking CCleaner EXE files Internet access via Windows Firewall. The portable version has never installed Avast and never any Google stuff, etc., the reason being the installer versions are what's needed to install the additional unwanted software."

Info from me:
CCleaner v5.32.6129 can be downloaded from filehippo.com here.
The latest version of CCleaner portable can be found and downloaded here.
I hope this helps some of you. ...It sure helped me since I only use the portable version like the moderator on the piriform.com forum.
