Hi @CCleaner_Admin :
Has anyone from Piriform / Avast escalated this with Microsoft? Some sort of official status update would be appreciated.
Even if this turns out to be a false positive I would hope Piriform / Avast would do a better job of following up on this type of detection, especially after the CCleaner v5.33 / Trojan.Floxif fiasco in 2017 (see my 18-Sep-2027 topic Traces of Floxif Malware From Infected CCleaner v5.33 Installer).
Microsoft Defender removed yet another copy of ccstup629.zip from my C:\Users<myusername>\Downloads\ folder on 27-Oct-2024 while I was running my weekly data backup of C:\Users<myusername>\ to an external backup drive. I logged in to the Microsoft Security Intelligence Portal at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission/ today and my 20-Oct-2024 false positive submission still has a Status of Submitted, so it doesn’t appear that anyone from Microsoft has even bothered to review my submission.
ASIDE: Someone marked this topic as Solved a few days ago so I’ve changed it back to Unsolved.
