ariadne 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariadne 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!
