Uninstall CCleaner Browser

Solved/Closed
papoudu34 -  
Hello,
If CCleaner is really excellent, it installs and starts CCleaner browser automatically without asking us, which is very annoying.
I read this to remove it:
=====================
-Close all CCleaner Browser windows and tabs on your PC
-Right-click the Windows Start menu, then select ‘Apps and Features’
-Click the CCleaner Browser panel, then select ‘Uninstall’
-Click ‘Uninstall’ again to confirm
-If prompted by the User Account Control dialog, click ‘Yes’
Tick the box next to ‘Also delete your browsing data’ to delete your profile information, such as bookmarks and history
-Click ‘Uninstall’
=====================
unfortunately the “uninstall” option is grayed out, making it inaccessible!

What solution is there to remove this thing?

Thank you and have a nice day

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 80.0.3987.149

    Hello,
    Download FRST and once downloaded save it on the desktop, then open it and you will see this:

    Then check the shortcut box like this:

    Click on Analyze, at the end of the scan you will have three text files on the desktop FRST, Addition and Shortcut send these reports to https://pjjoint.malekal.com/ see this tutorial paragraph Send the analysis reports to pjjoint then provide the three links generated by Pjoint in your next message.

      @jfmimiBypass the Windows notification, FRST is used among other things to remove infections, it is not a "virus."
