Hi, I am a long-time user of CCleaner. I had recently installed CCleaner v5.38 file from the Piriform website, and my Comodo antivirus flagged it as a malicious file. I then read about how CCleaner was hacked with malware in Sept17, and I am quite worried. I noticed that Comodo flagged the file but Avast didn't do any scans? Also, while downloading the CCleanerPro trial version, there is no malicious file so it seems that the malicious file is only in the basic free version?
I am running Win7, 64-bit OS. According to Comodo Logs, the malware name is Malware@#1lycl2ixxep4b.
I really loved CCleaner's features and uses, but I can't use it now because my antivirus cancels the download. I wanted to make people aware of this finding too after reading several distressed threads.
Is there a similar product like CCleaner?
