Malware in latest patch

[cptnchas]

I just downloaded the latest free patch.  It also downloaded the Vosteran.a malware onto my system.  The Downloader also tried to bundle several unwanted programs on my system.  Vosteran.a hijacked my browser and prevented me form redirecting back to my home page.  I ran malwarebytes immediately after and it removed the vosteren.a as well as several new gifts as well.  Not cool piriform!

Where did you get the download from?

hi cptnchas.  It is possible you've been scammed . . . hope not. 

 

If your computer continues to misbehave you might consider getting it checked at one of the free online malware sites listed in #10 here:  http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showannouncement=15&f=5

 

CCleaner doesn't have patches in the usual sense of the word.  An update just installs the new release over the old. 

 

Fwiw, I just downloaded CCleaner 3 different ways. 

1.  from filehippo:  http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner
2.  from piriform:  https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
3.  check for updates thru the free program:  http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/update?v=4.00.4064&l=1033

 

All 3 files were identical according to Hashmyfiles.  None had malware.  They installed version 5.00.5050.   It worked. 

 

I also updated the pro version thru the program.  No malware.  It works.
