Moderators Nergal Posted November 26, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2008 ????? AT&T is a Virus Checker ??? It's a False Postive, CCleaner does some Virus like things so is considered by a few overly egar AVs as one. Try the no install version at http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Andavari Posted November 26, 2008 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2008 Neither Avast Antivirus nor SUPERAntiSpyware find anything wrong with the download from FileHippo.com. You'll need to tell use what antivirus software you're using, this info is needed if Piriform puts a false positive warning on the main CCleaner page. In the meantime you can also check for an update to your antivirus software signature files. This is the typical false positive that comes up countless times. You can of course always verify against your installed antivirus software using free online virus scanning services that scan files with multiple anti-malware applications: * http://virusscan.jotti.org/ - Result: Found nothing * http://virscan.org/ - Result: Found nothing * http://www.virustotal.com/ - Result: Found 1 by Panda, who constantly gives false positives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a corrupted download you'd need to do this: 1. Clear your browser cache, the old version of CCleaner you have installed can do that. 2. Visit this page and download the build of your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry39 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 ????? AT&T is a Virus Checker ??? Yes, Its called AT&T Internet Security Suite. (Provided by RadialPoint in Montreal) I also use it and it tagged the same file on my system as containing a virus. I went back to the previous version of CCleaner.

Try the no install version at http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds My anti-virus software also reported a virus in CCleaner v 2,14. It is Authentium ESP Security Suite. It's not the first time I've had this problem with a CCleaner download. This time I took your advice and downloaded the no-install version. It worked fine. I checked it with my virus killer and it didn't detect a virus. So, problem solved, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
