[Trojan-Downloader.W32.ZLob.apw Virus Found on Recent Update]

This will be yet another false postitive. There is no need to uninstall CCleaner.

 

Please report this false positive to the relevant software vendors so they can update their definitions.

 

More and more false postives are being found in software setups and uninstallers because of the way they are 'packed'

 

I have CCleaner on 26 systems all running various AV software at 6 different sites around the country since its was first made available as freeware. ALL found the ZLOB virus in the recent download at hippo.com. This to me does not seem be a false positive with all these top virus vendors you want me to report this to them on your behalf? I rather just uninstall the software all together. To continue using CCleaner I would have to shut down all the virus programs just the get the recent download at filehippo.com and allow it to be downloaded to my machines. I mean I'm not even executing the file yet and my AV software on all 26 machines are preventing the download off the hippo.com server all-together. I don't understand how this download can be a false positive, this has never happened in many downloads of CCleaner. Its freeware so what can I say, and like I said you are just the 4th freeware company where my virus and anti-malware programs found viable threats, not just false positives.

 

Goodbye CCleaner. I'll stay with Webroot's Window Washer, a program I can trust and the investment is worth it.

[CCleaner scary Registry Deletion]

Just installed and ran CCleaner yesterday. Cleaned everything including registry entries. When I rebooted my At&t anti-virus would not run.

 

I restored the registry files and things were back to normal.

 

Today I started deleting the registery items by group, i.e. Active X, Installer Reference, Uninstaller Reference, etc., rebooting after each deletion, until I found the registry key that prevented At&T anti-virus from running.

 

"Obsolete software key Antivirus HKLM\Software\Antivirus"

 

I assumed that was reference to Norton Anti-virus I had previously, but it shuts down my AT&T anti-virus.

 

Just thought I would post this for information and a possible fix on the next update.

 

Best regards,

 

Could be because the program is trying to install a virus on your system and requires you AV to be shut down and registry keys changed? See my thread Trojan-Downloader.32.Zlob.apw above.
