[CC Virus...?]

What antivirus do you use masterone?

 

I use Telus Security Service. I think they use Freedom and Zero Knowledge. I used to be a "die-hard" Norton user but their program just isn't what it used to be. So far Telus has been great.

[CC Virus...?]

"The on-access scanning engine reported a 'W32/Trojan.MQN' infection in file 'C:\PROGRAMFILES\CCLEANER\UNINST.EXE'

 

I believe the scanning took place when I opened CCleaner.

 

The AV deleted the file.

 

I rarely have viruses. Incoming emails are scanned, filtered, washed, rinsed, and hung out to dry.

 

Any comments on a virus appearing as described above?

 

Regards,

Yikes! Just got virus alerts in four more files!

 

 

I had the same thing happen to me just this morning. Same message popped up with my AV, then 3 or 4 more. The files infected were all updates for CCleaner versions 131, 132, 133 and 134 plus the file mentioned in the above post.

 

I am now running version 130 and all is fine. I have a second computer running version 136 and no sign of virus on that one, but I also did not update that one as often and I believe I went from version 130 to 136 on the second computer.

 

I also am very on top of virus scans, spyware scans etc.

 

Someone suggested that this was a false positive, however right after using CCleaner and apparently launching the virus, my computer became very, very sluggish. Programs wouldn't open, etc.
