Years ago I used to use CCleaner and their disk defragmentor tool. Now I too am on Windows 10 and use neither, still it's sad to see this sort of thing happen to what I remember being decent free software.

IIRC, CCleaner used to come with some unnecessary stuff that caught users unawares.

If you have an SSD then defragmentation does nothing
