What did you do after finding Ccleaner v5.33 was malware bundled?

[Andytay70]

I was lucky had the previous version installed! usually i'm pretty strict in keeping software upto date.

Nothing because I don't use CCleaner.

 

[XhenEd]

I voted "Others".

What I did was "Only removed compromised CCleaner v5.33" without malware scans.

 

[Transhumana]

Didn't have the infected version so there was not much to do.
My dad, on the other hand, had that infected 32-bit version on his system where he had been using only admin account, didn't have any restore point saved and never made system image.
During a visit, I did format and fresh install with SUA to use on daily basis and made a clean system image for him to have.

You've done the best thing in that situation

Better safe than sorry!

Although I had the malicious version in one of my PCs I did all possible scans (both with antiviruses and manual) and I found no infections.
Perhaps because I am using the portable versions.
I will keep using CCleaner, as it is a nice tool.

Nothing. I use 64-bit version of Windows and I haven't had v5.33 installed. I've updated to latest version anyway.

 

[lowdetection]

Weebarra, yes. Every device is destroyed anyway after 60 days. Every employ change 6 time a year laptop, smartphone, and every device. I personally have agreement with manufactor and so the price of 3 unit is the price of one.

Updated to the latest version, I clean my Registry Editor and I've made Antimalware / Antivirus Scans, and follow all the things.

 

[gorblimey]

"Others". I don't use or need "optimisers" since the lack of results in W98--which, I must admit, was probably un-optimiseable anyway!

 

[insanity]

I think I was lucky because I have Ccleaner Portable 5.32. But for those who had installed Ccleaner 5.33, just uninstall it and remove the registry keys. Everything else is too much drama.

Uninstalled ccleaner (portable)
tested ashampoo win opimizer 2017....mmh very deep scan with some tweaks which can make some problems for a stable system (my opinion)
tested wise disk cleaner....very good.

 

[ForgottenSeer 55474]

Hey, I did not get hit because both my systems(8.1+10 home)is 64 bit, so I purchased the Ccleaner professional plus package, and I do not regret it.
You get Ccleaner, Defraggler, Recuva and Speccy, all professional versions.

 

[Iapepe]

I removed compromised CCleaner v5.33.
Updated to the latest version and I have made antimalware scan.

 

[Quassar]

I dont have ccleaner but if i would get infected i will do definity rollback..
I made too much test in malware-lab and even antivirus with this malware in database dont clean fully system from it.
But we have take care if infection can atack some part of PC like Mobo(bios) or GPU(memory) and after format can jump again on your system... some virus are rly f*** annoying and hard to delete.

 

[Svoll]

I just update to the latest version of ccleaner once I heard about the Malware. CCleaner was blocked from internet access so I should be safe. Ran 2 or 3 scans with different AV and nothing turns up.

 

[aragornnnn]

Formatted all my drives > deleted all my system images > clean installed os > created new and fresh images

 

[Deletedmessiah]

I had an older version of CCleaner and 64 bit. So wasn't infected. But now I made Wise Cleaner my main cleaner. Still using CCleaner but portable version now.
