Popups only show up when the application has some scripts or programs running in the background. This means that it will consume a part of your computer’s resources which slows down your system eventually.

You can press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and check how much resources are being consumed by CCleaner when the popup displays. Therefore, it is better to close these popup notifications which are also of no use to us.

Another reason you should disable CCleaner notification is that no one would entertain a massive banner occupying 1/4th of your15.6 inch laptop all of the sudden during an important meeting or presentation.
