[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 822474"] Actually CCleaner Malicious Update was entirely targetted at a specific company, it wouldn't do anything troublesome on a Home User PC (in fact it wouldn't work if detected it wasn't running on their target machines). Not to mention it was limited to x86, and was due to an oversight from the company. No one is going to waste that type of malware and opportunity in Home Users. At that point it stops being a Firewall test, as the files are detected by other modules, so as a Firewall it failed the test entirely. [/QUOTE]
