Just wanted to let others know of the problem.

It's a false positive detection. I've just downloaded all CCleaner builds and if what you say "Microsoft Security" is actually Microsoft Security Essentials, well it doesn't detect anything on my system. Make sure you have the newest antivirus/antispyware signature file updates, even if you have to manually click Update.

Also here's a Jotti scan of all the CCleaner downloads:

  • ccsetup301.exe - Scan results - ClamWin on Jotti which is probably the Linux version has a detection however ClamWin Free on Windows doesn't.
  • ccsetup301.zip - Scan results
  • ccsetup301_slim.exe - Scan result

If your antivirus still detects it after updating the signature files:

  1. Clean your browser cache/temporary internet files.
  2. Try the download again, or try the Slim build.
