Now 5.42 they giving their frinedly help – “Where appropriate, CCleaner Free may recommend improvements to your system’s antivirus protection” AKA AVAST My regret is not keeping screen shots of VirusTotal results. I don’t recall specifically but believe this was days rather than hours. All the popular (in my experience) AV companies EXCEPT Microsoft were listed as detecting the CCleaner infection by the time I gave up. Eventually, “I have better things to do” came to mind. The detecting AV companies grew in number. I kept checking, ostensibly to check how long it took Microsoft to report the problem. One of the detecting AV companies was NOT my regular AV so I kept checking the VirusTotal link and saw the numbers grow. VirusTotal reported three AV companies detected a problem (obviously, one of those was Malwarebytes). Due to Malwarebytes report, I again referred the file to VirusTotal. Nothing alarming was reported.īy coincidence, I ran a Malwarebytes scan early on the day the infection started to be detected. As is my habit, I ran the update installer through VirusTotal before installing.
