Very old news.

Your report is dated September 2017.

Perhaps you had CCleaner 5.33 installed. Make sure you are using latest CCleaner build 5.40

Wonder what those characters are that start of the 1st post?  Looks  like an apostrophe and 3 periods.

These seem harmless but I remember a while back that someone hid some malicious links like that. 

No offense meant to inteltek2, just wondering. 

The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-)

Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Actually even the installer file will trigger this. The compromised version 5.33 of CCleaner does not need to be installed.

To the OP, please read this thread for a fuller picture of this unique security incident:
