I know, i will stop Smart Security and download CCleaner, but anyway, you need to tell Eset´s people this is not dangerous AT ALL !

The reason it was listed, is not because CCleaner is dangerous, but antivirus solutions flag setup containers that include rogue toolbars/secondary installations.

CCleaner setup containers routinely include Ask toolbar or Chrome browser installations bundled with them, hence the warning from the security suite.

To be fair, Piriform does this to generate revenue, since they work so hard to provide things for free. But this sets off A/V programs.

For more opinions I always run the installer through Jotti or Metascan.

Just another false positive! Since you're an ESET customer you can probably report it as a false positive.

Sure i will, thanks for the answers!

I've been using ESET Smart Security for years, from the oldest version up until the very latest one. I've never had any problems with CCleaner. Like someone already said, it might be due to third-party software bundled with CCleaner. Even then, I doubt it would have any.

We have paid for the license of CCleaner professional. On scans of ESET many of the files of CCleaner are identified as dangerous. Please advise if the slim build applies

Eset should not be flagging the pro version, as the pro version doesn't bundle Google offer. Please submit the pro installer exe to Eset as a false positive.
