Why do you call CCLEANER an A/V tool?
I see several commentators saying they run CCLEANER. I do run it on every machine as a system optimization tool but not as A/V. I have never even seen where Piriform bills it as being an A/V tool.

If my customers want to pay for A/V I sell them Kaspersky Internet Security. If they want free, I install MSSE.

I have almost totally automated scripts written for cleaning infected machines where I boot from a cd or thumb drive that starts a PE environment that then executes a batch job that maps to a network drive containing updated utilities and:
runs a ghost image backup, runs chkdsk, defrag, runs emisoft CLS, copies utilities like MBAM, CCLEANER and several others to the c: drive along with another batch file copied to the startup folder after the PE environment finishes it's work. The batch file in the startup folder installs and runs MBAM and CCLEANER. It then executes among other things Hijackthis and Sysinternals Process Explorer (dangerous tools) so I can manually verify the infections are gone.
