Today Sophos updated its IDE's and then reported CCleaner.exe as the MAL/VB-K virus

So i downloaded and installed the latest CCleaner.

But still Sophos reports CCleaner.exe as the MAL/VB-K virus.

Is anyone else seeing this?

From Sophos Today 12th July 10:41am BST:

This False Positive was addressed yesterday evening.

dlo-bby.ide contains the fix...

If you have that installed (listed within the product information window within SAV) and it is still detected then please send us some samples of the files to samples@sophos.com for analysis by our labs.

All the best,

Cheers

Stuart
