1. legitimate software should not try to sneak-install itself 2.smart protection should spot this..
a "defender" worthy of the name should say : the program you are installing ( CCleaner) is attempting to sneak -install another program ( avast) without asking for your permission...
it is actually harmful to install a 2nd Av - Avast- when you already have one running ( panda) as they can interfere with each other
so whatever corporate idiot thought it was a good idea not only to sneak install avast but to to that even though the target PC has working av already should be fired.
i am not the only person who will never trust piriform again. CCleaner are apologising - sort of - but reputational damage is done

some features of avast also break SSL security certificate authentication, bu that's a separate off-topic debate
