Can CCleaner conflict with antivirus software, and if so, how does it differ from other cleaning tools in terms of safety?

No, I’ve never seen it to conflict with antivirus software.

Yes, CCleaner can conflict with antivirus software. This happens because some antivirus programs might think CCleaner’s deep system cleaning or registry changes are suspicious, even though they are not harmful. But there aren’t many problems with new versions of CCleaner.

If you use CCleaner carefully, it’s safer than other cleaning tools. It avoids aggressive cleaning that could damage your system. Don’t use the registry cleaner too much because it can sometimes take out important entries. Always check the settings before you clean.
