hack of ccleaner533setup.exe files

hi. i did a regular scan with malwarebytes last night and the results showed as below in the attachment.

i downloaded the update after opening CCleaner and being advised there was an update.

i updated from the piriform site.  this version obviously from a while ago as i am now on v. 535.

now, i usually scan setup download files--but not from trusted products like CCleaner--but i just scanned the file with my antivirus, which is TM.

the results are shown below in the other attachment. 

 

notes: the setup file icon was different in my downloads folder (i usually delete older setup files periodically) than 532, 534 and 535.  i would show you, but TM deleted it.

           the TM results seem to indicate that there was a hack of the setup download files.

 

i searched the forums and did not find anything about this.

anyone?

thank you, hazelnut.  now i understand why i was unable to find it when i searched.

the article says "32 bit users only".

AFAIK, CCleaner uses the same setup files for 32/64 bit.

why would they say that then?  just curious.  i am running win 10 64 bit.
