I would advise against using CCleaner esp on Windows 10.
https://conservapedia.com/CCleaner. It is a software that was useful with XP but is long past its use by date.

new Defender:
Just for infor it will self install with the next round of updates anyway.

I use Microsoft Defender and as Rollo says it is free. I have used Norton in the past but it is to invasive for me.
