were you using CCleaner Cloud?

from memory those reg keys were only created if using that version, and only if using v5.35 32bit.

It was the normal install version. on a 64 bit windows

g'day @mykeprime and welcome to the forums,

 

based on 2 security scans finding nothing, no reg keys found, and that you had the safe 64bit version then Yes, you can assume you are OK.

all you need to do is replace v5.33 with any of the newer ones.

Great, thanks!

Just to further clarify; the reg entries would not have been removed by uninstalling ccleaner had they been there?

So after reading this whole thread, I’m pretty confused.

 

I attended to two machines as soon as I got home from work the evening that the problem was reported;

 

1)

 

64 bit

Updated cccleaner straight away, then uninstalled.

Bullguard and malwarebytes found nothing.

Could not find the mentioned registry entries.

 

2)

 

64 bit

Updated cccleaner straight away, then uninstalled.

Bullguard and malwarebytes found nothing, except the downloaded installer file in the downloads folder, which I then deleted.

Could not find the mentioned registry entries.

 

Can I assume that these machines are ok? I don’t particularly want to nuke them...

Would the trace registry entries have been removed when updating/uninstalling? I don’t know how else to see if I’m safe or not...
