NoScript settings being reset w/out my request

My NoScript settings are being reset without me requesting it. This is done at least once per day. Since I've exported/saved my settings, I must import them each time they're reset (rather than go thru my entire list again). I'm guessing it is some sort of virus. Any ideas on how to stop this? Thanks.

Do a search for 'ccleaner*'.
Apply to you too?

Thanks, however I use CCleaner every day. Been doing so for years.

You have been playing Russian roulette with your entire Firefox
profile every day for years.
Don't let CCleaner clean anything Firefox. It has a long history of damaging Firefox profiles.

Thank you very much. I just read the ghacks.net post. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative to ccleaner ... or should I just modify ccleaner's settings to not mess with Firefox?

This.
Best not use any third-party software to clean anything Firefox. Firefox can clean itself.
