ariadne 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi. I've used CCleaner quite happily until now, and have been happy to recommend it to others too. However, when I attempted to update it recently, I got warnings from WinPatrol that I was attempting to d/l AvenueA, a known threat. I aborted the download. Decided to try again in a couple of days - this time the download worked fine, no alerts from Scotty...but when I double-clicked to commence the installation, the system warned me that either the d/l file was corrupted, or it contained a virus. What's all this about? I would like to update my copy, but if it's being bundled with some sort of malware, it will be wiped off my 'puter! I have other utils I can use instead. Looking forward to your comments... Link to post Share on other sites

ariadne 0 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hello ariadne and welcome to the forum Are you downloading from the recommended site? http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds.aspx ( slim build!) Also have you done a full virus/malware check using several apps? Hi Hazelnut and thanx for the welcome and the speedy reply! I didn't use the site above; it was the filehippo.com site I used, as this was the link given on CCleaner's homepage. I have WinDefender and WinPatrol always running, with AVG + firewall version (set to scan every day on boot), and I scan regularly with both SpyBot S&D and AdAware, so yes to your second question I will try again using the URL you've given; Tx!
