Rafe Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I downloaded defreggler to update the version I have, and tested it with virustotal. Two antivirus found something nasty in there. There was already a previous scan done by someone else already, and it said one of the antivirus detected something, so I think I can trust it. Now I want to hear someone from piriform about this. What is happening? https://www.virustotal.com/es/file/b6b1ac3621d7e6a9d9b9ac149b3359e5e84b4d98904e62583e419d230ae3c4d4/analysis/1403730147/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted June 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2014 All that seems to be being detected is the references to google toolbar. If you downloaded it from Piriform itself (which you seem to have done) then they will be false positives.

Moderators Nergal Posted June 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2014 ClamAV is known for false positives, and ESET flags any installer that bundles Google Browser Toolbar. With virustotal results, you need to pay attention to the flags and 2/54 usually would point to a clean file (especially if one of those is ClamAV) 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 mta Posted June 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2014 and to prove the point, download the portable version and the scans should be clean - even the false positives. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
