I got a notification that a new ccleaner update was available. I clicked on it and went to the piriform ccleaner download page. I chose to download the free version. It started to redirect me to filehippo.com. Before it could download, my f-secure flagged it as a malicious website. I closed it, went back to piriform and tried again. The same thing. So I pushed continue to website and then pushed download ccleaner. Well, the ccleaner kept downloading. I had 24 before I figured out that closing the browser would make it stop. I deleted all of the ccleaners and managed to find the one directly downloadable from piriform itself. I have a few questions:
1. Does piriform use filehippo as a mirror site?
2. Is filehippo safe?
3. Due to my carelessness, did I just download a virus?
I scanned each download with f-secure and malwarebytes. I then deleted all of the ccleaners downloaded from filehippo, but I'm afraid due to the fact that I was not paying close attention, that I downloaded a virus. Thanks to anyone who can help me.
