thanks OldMike65
nothing detected both in Windows Defender & MalwareBytes
I had installed the faulty CCleaner v5.33 on x64 Computer
the shorcut in Windows Menu is "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe"
only "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" (existing on disk..) is infected
I think I am OK then...
Confirmed 5.35.6210, it's just downloaded here today, again as an "important update".
Yup was just released maybe within the last hour....
Latest CCleaner Version Released - Windows 10 Forums
This is i always chuckle from people who claim to not need AV protection, who always want to be admin and say that common sense is all you need. Sometimes, legit sites can get hit too. Reputable software becomes compromised. I appreciate the vendor who steps up, announces what happened and quickly fixes.
What Piriform should have done was as soon as they analyzed the malicious code and took necessary action in mitigating the hack, they should have made an announcement that day to inform their users. They did not. They waited almost a week. This leaves the impression that if this issue did not come to light, they would have quietly swept this under the rug. In fact, when version 3.4 was released there was no mention of any security bugs that were fixed in their release notes.
