I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone keep a program that was intentionally infected with a Trojan or virus. It's what we can't see that's worrisome in this instance. For now, I definitely would advise to remove until the issue is remedied.
BTW I've never used CC Cleaner, see no reason for it, and never recommend it. That's me. That however, has nothing to do with my stated comment.
Machine from this morning was customers, it was taken down by several viruses, malware and the only
One definitely residing in cclnr was Nyetya. It hadn't been executed, ran Update and it was removed.Latest ccleaner is pure, will have to have the chat of scanning all downloads with antivirus program.
All scans come up as pure.
Well My Two cents is, I was one of the 1st ones to report how to Check if your system was infected early this morning. I posted the ways to check your system. I also posted hours ago, this only affects 32bit versions. I did not see you post anything on what to look for, to insure your system was not affected, all I do see is you doing is complaining. You were most likely still sleeping. Now all I see are people posting the same issues that were reported 8 hours ago, on here just from different sites, but the same information over and over, seems to me some folks just getting a little carried away. I understand the fact that this IS a serious attack, but we still should try to remain clam and check our computers for any signs of them being infected. If a person wants to completely remove CCleaner, than just download Revo Uninstaller Free version, and have it remove CCleaner completely from there hard drive AND their Regisrty, Revo is about the only app that can remove a program completely. Meaning it checks your registry for any leftovers from CCleaner.

Hmm well I only just found out about this issue this morning in this CCleaner Was Hacked: What You Need to Know and I certainly had no idea that it is now owned by Avast and am a little concerned as to whether I should be using it now despite all the reassurances and because of the connection with Avast??
It was also reported in a site I use a lot too IMPORTANT: If You're A CCleaner User You Need To Read This. | Gizmo's Freeware and I shall be having a look at what else is available.
What does the above mean? Some would take it that way. Some users would not worry even though some users have gotten it on 64Bit machines. Your rank may carry some weight with some users:)Think some of you folks are getting carried away on this......Never removed mine, and I have no issues, no threats, nothing....everything checks out just fine.
