Looking for a way to uninstall CCLEANER via command line or script.

There are a few PC's on my network that have unknown versions of CCLEANER on them.  CCLEANER doesn't update automatically so they would have whatever version that was current at the time.  Since CCLEANER now is being bundled with MALWARE, I need to just remove it from my network.  Looking for a script that I can add to my login scripts, or even a command line that I can run remotely to remove any and all versions on a PC, or preferably  the entire network.  

Thanks in advance.

I know that once upon a time you could remove it via a batch file that looked like this:

cd C:\program files\ccleaner

uninst.exe /s

(assuming of course ccleaner is installed in this directory on these systems)
You would think a company owned by a AV vendor would have a better grip on their distribution channel.
