New version of CCleaner is out but..........It came with a nasty surprise

Not an April Fools joke guys. BTW....it came from the Piriform website.

You are reporting a trojan/virus coming in a download from Piriform? Are you sure? If so, you should report that to them, promptly with that screenshot.

Maybe this is a coincidence? Maybe your latest MSE update found that (and maybe it has something to do with the troubles you've been having with your computer?).

Uvah, what is the version number?  I checked and I am running version 3.05.1408 which is the current version.  No problems here.  Could be you have a false postive.  I would do as Doc suggests and report it to Piriform and see what they say. 

It was clean here...looks like a false pos.

Get a better AV.

Same version. I scanned the installer package and it came up clean but I figured it was better safe than sorry. that's why I posted it. Just in case. Reporting it now.

That is a possibility I'm not overlooking. But like I said...with all the shit going around lately how can you tell what is and what isn't a false positive. Err on the side of caution. If it makes me look like a fool, so what. I'd rather be a laughing fool than a crying one.

You're not a fool, and you shouldn't think that way, Uvah. Better to report. I also updated and got no reported problems.... Don't feel bad. Please.

It's a bit inconceivable that Piriform would dump a trojan/virus in CCleaner, but it doesn't hurt to inform people as long as it's corrected if proven wrong. A lot of anti-virus programs flag things based on what appears to be suspicious behaviour rather than having a known signature.

I am running the latest CCleaner and MSE here with no issues what so ever on 3 different operating systems, must just be your PC.

Then if it is does anyone have any ideas as to what may be my lappy's problem.

Find an online AV scanner...and give it a go. 

I'd run a couple of the free on-line AV software manufacturers scanners (use the ones from the big players.......ESET/Norton etc) through your machine and see what it finds. Then run a couple of malware/spyware progs like Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. Finally, HiJackThis is supposed to be a good 'finder of bad stuff' too. Any concerns........back-up anything you need to save.......and then clean and reinstall.

MalwareBytes came up clean as did IObit and Glary. Could it be the Root-Kit app I installed the other day? It found several unknown hidden files. Some of them from Object desktop, Rainmeter and DX widgets. I doubt very much if any of those have root-kits in them.

Hello....knock....knock.... hello.....anyone home??

Me too. No problems here.

Uvah, you and your laptop should go one the road and do comedy. AAlll these probs are just getting to funny!!

With all due respect........... It is not funny to me ! My laptop is all that I have and if it has problems I worry about it.

2 yrag.....explain.

Uvah I am not aware of all the problems your lappy is having but if it is ill maybe you would be a lot further ahead to stop messing with it and just backup your files and do a reformat. You may not want to do that and I guess it depends on your problems but I have never regretted reformatting when my systems were giving me grief. They always worked so much better and faster after the fact.

Sure. We've had this conversation before, but......

You repeatedly install everything that comes down the pike, then uninstall them when you hit overkill and your machine pukes.
 
A week later, you're back at it.

The clinical definition of insanity is repeating the exact same thing over and over and over  again and expecting a different result.

See what I mean?

Now, at the risk of hurting your sensibilities....you're either nuts, paranoid or both. Whatever it is, get over it. Computers are suppose to be fun....not a fuckin' job!!

You need a good security suite and a backup program, both set to auto (I use Kaspersky/ Acronis) and that's it. Period!!!

You want to enjoy your computer and have it love you in return.......stop fucking with it and it will stop fucking with you.

Unlike people,  computers thrive on indifference.

Enjoy the weekend.

I guess he told me...huh. I are so dead.

Relax, Uvah, Yrag saves his REAL wrath for yours truly ....;)

But he's right, all the same....;p

I know. I can't help it. This whole thing is like one big toy box and I get to play with everything. Sometimes I will admit I do go waaaaaaay overboard. What it is really is too many programs and some of them are buttin' heads. Most of what I install is just for testing but more often than not I forget its there then bitch moan and groan when it hiccups. And, and my posts reflect this, and I'm too quick to hit the panic button. Now there's a thought. Maybe I'll make one. lol

Ever wonder why they tell you not to run 2 anti virus
programs on 1 computer?
Because they will remove parts of each other.

Let's not forget the hillbilly!
