as you saying this happened with the latest v5.42.6499 release or are you running the old, infected version of CC?

Backup now & backup often.

You either have an outdated ccleaner or still had an old installer laying around because it's catching the september 2017 version of ccleaner which was indeed infected.

 

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.
