[CCleaner Trojans]

Try uploading the file to Virus Total for a multi-scanner online analysis. Chances are it has already been examined, if not, wait for the scan to complete, and you'll get a list of results from a large number of popular virus scanners.

Other things to check: does the md5 (electronic fingerprint) of the file match that advertised on the download site? If so, high probability of a FP.

(There are various downloadable tools that can give you the md5 of a file. Some AS scanners have it built in to their toolkits.)

 

Thanks for the help. the md5 matches and only 1/38 came up as suspicious on VIRUS TOTAL scan so it looks to be an fp result.

As you can see in the message from AVG, this detection was not an exact one but only by heuristics... heuristics are not precise and may yield false positives.
