[QUOTE="Azure, post: 715567, member: 29489"] Well, SUMo doesn't actually update your softwares it just checks if there are updates available for them. Don't know if this is true. But Heimdal has an article in which they claimed updating through their software is safer. [URL="https://heimdalsecurity.com/blog/security-alert-ccleaner-spread-malware/"]Security Alert: Criminals Slip Backdoor in CCleaner to Spread Malware[/URL] -[B][SIZE=5]Details about the CCleaner update delivered through Heimdal products [/SIZE][/B] "The way Heimdal delivers the patch does not also involve executing any code. Therefore the backdoor is never opened. In the case of the CCleaner patch, no malicious connections were made." [/QUOTE]
