sonofray Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I've been using CCleaner for years, since the days of it being called "Crap Cleaner". I've NEVER gotten a false positive before. I just attempted to download version 5.30 & BitDefender blocked it stating it was infected by Trojan.GenericKD.5086571. I was forced to reboot to clean the threat. I'm sticking with 5.29 until the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted May 18, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2017 one reason with the new CC v5.30 is that the AV companies haven't updated their digital signatures yet. it could also just be that things haven't had a chance to propagate. most of CC's false positives seem to stem from ESET and BitDefender (my guess is it'll be those AV programs that use the BitDefender engine) my download of v5.30 didn't trigger any issues with Norton's.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 18, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2017 Also AV companies like to have installers submitted to them, some will auto-upload without user interaction if configured to do so, and scanning on sites such as VirusTotal will have it submitted to them. Although some brands of AV are more prone to false positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
