Virus and threat protection warning

I just had a CCleaner update and have had 3 Windows notifications saying Unauthorised Changes Blocked - Controlled Folder Access Blocked. What can I do to rectify this?

This often happens with a new software version.

Especially something like CCleaner which can clean 'controlled' folders.

Give Windows Security CFA a day or so to catch up that there is a new version of CCleaner so the number has changed.

Thanks ?

Just checking:

  • Was this the automatic update, or did you manually update from the website?
  • Were these notifications after the 5.80 update had already been applied? Or did they prevent you from updating to 5.80?

Also do you have this enabled ?

It was after the update, I now have 5.80. The warning still happens sometimes when I try to navigate in CCleaner.

Oh yes, I have it set for automatic updates.

OK, great, I have now allowed CCleaner in Windows Security.

Thanks
