Today my two anti-malware software -- Emsisoft Anti-Malware & Malwarebytes Premium -- went berserk over ccupdate5.66.7705.exe. Emsisoft immediately quarantined that CC Pro file. Then CC Pro became dysfunctional. I uninstalled and reinstalled CC Pro, but during installation, Emsisoft attempted to block the installation.
I KNOW CC Pro does not contain Malware. So, I request Piriform to look into the issue reported herein and attempt to resolve it. I have used BOTH Emsisoft and CC Pro in the same PCs since 2014 and never had a conflict betwixt them until now.
It's a False Positive detection of the newly released CCleaner version.
There is nothing for CCleaner to fix.
The few Antivirus Companys that have it wrong need to update their definitions - which is already happening, but taking a bit longer than normal because of Covid; see here:

I use Emsisoft and know that CCleaner is not usually flagged by them Make sure the detection in the Forensic Logs doesn't have a (B) after it. That means it was BitDefender who flagged it.
Open quarantine, highlight the CCleaner file, and go down to the bottom of the page and select 'False Detection'
nukecad -- Thanks for the link to the other posts reporting false positives on the new CC version. I know the Emsisoft founder Christian Mairoll. I will forward that link to him. It is BS that Emsisoft Anti-Malware should suddenly mess with CC.
hazlenut -- Thanks for the good advice. Regarding the prospect of a flag by BitDefender, I checked the logs. I didn't see the 'B'. See image attachment.
Question -- Since ccupdate5.66.7705.exe was located in a temp folder in the CC directory in Program Files, would there be any harm in just deleting it in Emsisoft's Quarantine? As a temp file, it is unneeded now, yes?
