Piriform - Security Notification for CCleaner v5.33.6162 and CCleaner Cloud v1.07.3191 for 32-bit Windows users

eset detects only from today with Update signature 16099 @ 2017-09-18 as

but detects only the old ccleaner installers
i read about ->
Affected systems need to be restored to a state before August 15, 2017 or reinstalled
today it's 18 ,September ,it's a month
i can't restore an image on 4 machines

what can i do ?
i tried malwarebyte , a full scan , all clean
is there a way to check if i have this malware ,i know about the registry ?
is there something more deep?
have you restored an image?

about virus b.->Virus Bulletin :: Malicious CCleaner update points to a major weakness in our infrastructure

Infected file ccleaner is scaned only on Virus Total & By our Antimalware and Antivirus Softwares ...... I don't know about deep scan on a virtual machines - at least not here ..... till now. :/
 
contradiction multiplied by 2 :

Yes, i agree, the damage is done, just uninstall it, so there will be no more damages.

if the damage is done uninstalling it is not going to undo that damage. the malware has infiltrated the system.

Just an assumption, no source....nada, zip...
But that doesn't mean it's not correct.

how on earth is an assumption correct? please do not mislead other users with your assumptions.

I just read the reports, that's all

from what you read you came to this conclusion :

All you have to do is uninstall CCleaner, and you are good.

By infiltrated the system, surely u mean collected data & stuff cause nobody else reported otherwise that this malware backdoor did any actual harm to their system.
So by uninstalling, no MORE damage (by damage i mean data collection) can be done.

If i am wrong, please enlighten us, what should be done?
