Why do other anti-spyware programs report infections after CCleaner runs?
I downloaded Spybot S&G, installed it, and after a scan, it reported 3166 infections, including Bifrost. Why does it not show up in CCleaner?

If you mean why do the infections not show up in CCleaner, it is because CCleaner is not a malware cleaner or a virus cleaner.
CCLEANER, RECUVA, DEFRAGGLER AND SPECCY DOCUMENTATION CAN BE FOUND HERE
