possible virus in 3.09.1493

FYI - The latest copy of CrapCleaner (v3.09.1493) in the FileHippo download area is flagged by Trustport Antivirus as being infected with a virus. The copy I obtained from http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/update seems to be OK.

Please can you report this to Trustport so that they can update their definitions to deal with this false positive.

Thanks :)

On Jotti only ClamWin AV reports something as seen here:

Although I find it strange how ClamWin Portable which I have installed doesn't detect anything. Nonetheless as always it's just a false positive, it is not infected!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Trustport uses Clam as (one of) it's (many) AV engines

Here's a Quote from PCMAG

With its multiple antivirus engines TrustPort detects more malware than most. It's especially good at keeping malware out of a clean system.

For fun here's the entire review summary (IMHO seems like a crudy software)

Pros

Can install in Safe Mode. Excellent malware detection. In testing, especially effective against scareware. Best-yet detection rate for malware blocking.

Cons

Many test systems bluescreened during scan. Poor cleanup of detected malware. Default action for real-time protection merely blocks access to malicious files. Behavior-based detection doesn't distinguish valid files from malware.

Bottom Line

With its multiple antivirus engines TrustPort detects more malware than most. It's especially good at keeping malware out of a clean system. However, in testing it flopped at cleaning up the malware it detected, leaving quite a few detected threats running. This product is best used on a brand-new clean computer.

Seems like all of those engines might cause a bit of internal conflict.
