My Windows 8 computer freezes while using CCleaner

After two refresh and one clean install of Windows 8 within a two-week period, my computer freezes while I'm running CCleaner. It always stops at the same file:

C\User\AppData\Local\Temp\_ME149482\PyWinTypes26.dll

First few minutes, I can still use my computer, but after that, I cannot print, cannot open Task Manager, cannot shut down the computer. After numerous attempts, I'm able to close CCleaner, but my computer remains frozen.

C\User\AppData\Local\Temp\_ME149482\PyWinTypes26.dll


follow that path and delete this part [_ME149482\PyWinTypes26.dll]folder and all ,it should not affect anything as no programs except nasty ones run from windows temp folders

Yes, that's what I did. I've opened XYplorer, found that folder and deleted it, and all my issues with CCleaner were gone.

good job ,
