Beny Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hello, I just updated to CCLEANER to V2.32.1165 (first I run the older version in my computer, it asked me to updated, I just accepted it) After it my computer got infected (when I logged on the net). IE8 does not run, it only opens automatically for heavy porno sites, also if I click OK it goes to a site selling virus killer. Then I purchased and run a registry cleaner program from ParetoLogic Inc. but it did not clear the problem Could anyone input me ideas about it please? Thanks Beny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2010 If you got CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com, http://www.piriform.com, or http://www.filehippo...nload_ccleaner/ all those installers are all 100% clean! Now if you've downloaded CCleaner from elsewhere there's no telling what you've downloaded since there are rip-off versions of the software. I'd recommend reading and following these malware removal instructions: http://forum.pirifor...showtopic=20120 Then I purchased and run a registry cleaner program from ParetoLogic Inc. but it did not clear the problem A registry cleaner isn't ever going to remove an infection! That's what legit anti-malware software is for which I've linked to just above this comment of following the malware removal instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beny Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks for your reply. Please read my original posting: "I just updated to CCLEANER to V2.32.1165 (first I run the older version in my computer, it asked me to updated, I just accepted it)" I did not pick any place to download from. It is automacally. I'm going to read the information that you indicated. Do you have please any idea of what can I do? I appreciate your input Beny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2010 I don't know how you could've been infected by CCleaner unless the infection was already on your system and actively running. Do you have please any idea of what can I do? What I've already mentioned: I'd recommend reading and following these malware removal instructions: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=20120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven_Eleven Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 "I just updated to CCLEANER to V2.32.1165 ... I did not pick any place to download from. It is automacally. ... Then you bought that stuff... You stumbled into rogue software it has nothing to do with CCleaner, that you can download from http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds (7/11) .!-!-!-!.

kroozer Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Please read my original posting: "I just updated to CCLEANER to V2.32.1165 (first I run the older version in my computer, it asked me to updated, I just accepted it)" I did not pick any place to download from. It is automacally. Trojans will attach to innocent web sites and download to your pc, and when you open a program they can advise you to upgrade, thus linking you to their rogue site where malware downloads and infects you. That trojan would have probably advised you to upgrade when you opened any program. It is a good policy to run Mbam several times daily to catch these nasty buggers, and have AV such as Avast always running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ident Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 It is a good policy to run Mbam several times daily to catch these nasty buggers, Whos policy is that? Because thats stupidly ott. I run mbam once a month if that some times. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Whos policy is that? Because thats stupidly ott. I run mbam once a month if that some times. So you feel that we Mbam users who run a quick scan several times daily are stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramy Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Paranoid. Not stupid. Agreed. I've been running Spybot and MBAM monthly for years, and they've never found anything dangerous. Several times daily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven_Eleven Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 What do you all mean by "run"? A full scan or update? As you can see by my sign, I am someone in a forum experienced in malware removal and stuff like that... I suggest you to update Mban everyday but there's no need to run a full scan several times a day everyday provided that you do not visit dangerous sites every day or if you use cracked software, the which I do not bear Remember that keygens will get a trojan inside of your system 99% of times therefore choose a free software if you cannot afford commercial software When someone posts here and puts the blame on CCleaner for being infected either he is victim of rouge software (and he is not aware) or he wants to spam therefore there's no need for the other members to argue about it as a result (7/11) .!-!-!-!.

kroozer Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 For most, yes it's ott. And I admit to heightened paranoia. I've been the target of many malware attacks lately from visiting legitimate, innocent sites (no porn or sleaze for me). I keep sensitive company files on my equipment for homeworking, and should any of them fall into rogue/competitor hands my career would end abruptly, and then you could call me stupid for not quick scanning Mbam several times daily. My career trumps your sardonicism. Edit: @ Sig Seven_Eleven: Una scansione rapida, meno di cinque minuti. (A quick scan.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never called you stupid, I said it is stupidly ott to run a quick scan several times daily. On top of that a full scan is pretty much pointless any way. If you are getting infected often then id suggest re thinking your browsing habbits. Browser/addons etc. I cant even remember the last time i had a little infection. Seven_Eleven: 99% of keygens are not infected. They are just flagged as dangerous. But thats not a topic thats allowed to go in detail here.
