I was happened to browse betanews (www.betanews.com) today, it's funny that I saw the license of ccleaner is classified to adware, how this could be? I like ccleaner a lot and never consider it as a adware, anybody can correct me if I was wrong?

It's because that version has the Yahoo! Toolbar. You can download the slim version from the official CCleaner site, or just uncheck the box, so you don't install the Yahoo! Toolbar. That's what I do.

I actually think such sites that mark CC as adware would probably just be better off linking to www.ccleaner.com for the downloads versus hosting them, and thus put the final nail in the coffin of the reoccurring and rather annoyingly now boring Yahoo Toolbar issue.
