For apps it supports, Ninite is a good way to avoid that kind of thing, although it may not have stopped the CCleaner issue. They package their installer with extraneous bundles removed.

I hope Ninite reads this and pulls them off their list of installers. It should be automatically removed from end users by Ninite as a direct response to this.

Well, it's not on the list currently, so either they never had it or they did indeed remove it.
