CCleaner 1.41.544

CCleaner for Windows
1

I have CCleaner v1.40.520. When attempting an update to v1.41.544 my virus detection (BitDefender AntiVirus v10) indicates there is a virus in it: Trojan.Downloader.Zlob.AADO

Any ideas?

HI

I've got it too!!

Same for me...and i can't uninstall it, i've tried to move or delete it ....nothing works

(uninstall.exe is the Trojan and Bitdefender can not put it in quarantine)

Just re install V140 on it and now all is ok.... no more Trojan

Make a deep scan for confirmation

Is it a false positive ? Maybe .....Piriform could answer

Regards

It's a false positive.

This is a very common occurance where anti virus/malware programs see uninstallers as trojans etc.

It will be a false positive, I am sure.

I have contacted Bit Defender regarding this and will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

if you want to be on the safe side, check the suspicious file(s) with this webservice: virustotal

I have AntiVir PE all updated and it's not saying anything.

I too have AntiVir PE running & fully updated (25th July 2007). However, when CCleaner was updated to version 1.41.544 this morning, a virus was immediately reported & quarantined. The Details are as follows -

C:\Program Files\CCleaner\uninst.exe

TR/Dldr.Zlob.AADO.5

This is as everyone is saying a false positive. I have just downloaded latest defs 5 mins ago, I have avira , no warning from it, even if I open CCleaner in prog files.

Also to give out this info, I have just recieved a reply from the email I sent to Bitdefender who reported the same Trojan Zlob in CCleaner uninstaller....

Thank you for your interest in our BitDefender security solution.

false positive you reported has been fixed.

Just to let you know, this afternoon (26th July 2007) I installed CCleaner 1.44.544 again whilst running AntiVir PE. It loaded without virus notification - Many Thanks

I can confirm that yesterday, for a while, Antivir was detecting uninst.exe.

Then i have submitted the file to their online scan service and has been confirmed

being a FALSE POSITIVE.

--------------------------

Welcome back, Mr Xxxxx Xxxxx!

A listing of files alongside their results can be found below:

File ID Filename Size (Byte) Result

1113316 uninst.exe 103.41 KB FALSE POSITIVE

The file 'uninst.exe' has been determined to be 'FALSE POSITIVE'. In particular this means that this file is not malicious but a false alarm. Detection is removed from our virus definition file (VDF) with the version: 6.39.0.183.

----------------------------

Currently (just updated Antivir 5 minutes ago) all works

fine. No detections :)
