Carl45 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Running up-to-date AVG Internet Security 2015 and latest CCleaner Since the last CCleaner update and/or the latest AVG IS update, AVG insists that ccleaner.exe is an unknown threat. Does anyone else have experience of this? Worked out what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2015 This is likely a false positive caused by the bundled google/or/dropbox/or/VyperVPN installer offers. The only case where there would be an actual worry is if you didn't get ccleaner from piriform, cnet or file hippo. Do you have AVG set to flag PuP (potentially unwanted programs). 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 September 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi @Carl45 and welcome to the forum. Yes, I got those messages a couple of years ago when 1) I used to have AVG IS and 2) used to use the normal build of CC. I added CC to AVG's ignore list to get around it. But I quickly moved on to using CC's portable builds which didn't cause those warnings.

Carl45 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Many thanks, guys! As I always and only download direct from Piriform, I went with MTA and the problem is resolved. Good job, too - the amount of clutter I'd accumulated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't because I use Malwarebytes as a secondary trouble scanner - and it is very PuP sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted September 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2015 good news. yep MBAM is a great program, well worth the cost to make it proactive rather than the free, reactive version.
