Oops. Ok. I went to the Digital Signatures tab.Cert issued by 'Symantec CLass 3 SHA256 Code Signing CA' Signing time 'Tuesday, November 15, 2016'. I can go ahead and install the Cert. My guess is if I do that the Malwarebytes issue will go away. I am concerned as to why this would have to be a manual process.

The AV software that is reporting this is MalwareBytes. I too am fuzzy about how WIndows 10 and programs interact with Digital Signatures. I run other programs and do not get this issue. It seems to be only with CCLEANER. And I have tried mutliple versions including the latest one. If someone could clarify that: CCLEANER is presenting the OS Windows 10 with a cert and Windows 10 is then going to the cert website that would help. Should I point the finger at Malwarebytes, WIndows 10 or CCLEANER? BTW, I use the internal Firewall and do outbound blocking which may be a factor. Although MalwareBytes is the one reporting this issue.

Starting roughly on 12/2/16 whenever I run CCLEANER 5.20.xxx I get flagged by my AV software and it says 'process: c:\windows\explorer.exe' outbound connection to 'sv.symcd.com' malicious and blocked. symcd domain seems to be associated with akamai/symantec/CSC. I do not have any Symantec software installed. Any thoughts as to what is going on? Thank you, Jay
