Ccleaner Infected - How to make sure PC is clean?

[ForgottenSeer 58943]

I see it this way...this was not done by "kids" and we don't know what they did.
Before experts said stage 2 never happened, then they discovered on a server a list with 20 targets that got stage 2 MW...but they don't know what happened before the list was created, what malware was used in stage 2....since you decided to reinstall all, I would also change all passwords.

I agree with this advice. We're already finding out it's a bit deeper than Avast initially claimed.

Also please note, Fortinet's APT detection systems started flagging Ccleaner back around May. They claim this all started in August and I am skeptical of that claim based on the APT hits triggering back in May. Once I saw the triggers I immediately removed Ccleaner and Ccleaner Cloud, cancelled my subscription and wiped all of the machines with it installed. Call it a hunch, but when APT appliances start triggering I take note.

I'd bet we all hear how it was once again 'more than they realized' after some time passes..
