yowbooks Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Has this been resolved? Thanks, Marshall Backdoor Found in CCleaner: Reinforces the Need for Better Data ProtectionUsers of CCleaner for Windows, a maintenance and file clean-up tool developed by Avast Piriform, are being told to update their software immediately, since it’s been discovered that hackers had installed a backdoor in the official application that would allow additional malware to be added to the infected system. On September 13, researchers at Cisco Talos found that downloads of CCleaner 5.33 and CCleaner Cloud 1.07.3191 contained more than just the official free versions – a domain generation algorithm (DGA) and hardcoded Command and Control function was incorporated into the software. That means hackers somehow gained access to the official development process and implanted malware designed to steal data from the product’s two million users. https://www.acronis.com/en-us/blog/posts/backdoor-found-ccleaner-reinforces-need-better-data-protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 30, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yes the 5.35 (and 5.34) version of ccleaner is without trojan. More information at this thread https://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=48869 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.
