I had to have a tech come over and fix it (another $100 down the drain) and he couldn't figure out why this happened to me. First time I'd ever had problems with CCleaner.

I ran Malwarebytes a bit ago and found 2 Trojans but am scared now to use CCleaner.

I just checked the header you mentioned and those were all listed as you said. What is Radeon? I know I saw that recently. I can't keep up with all these companies/terms. Old dog/new tricks.
