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

[Azure]

Over at Emsisoft, one of the members stated that even if you installed the 32-bit version of Ccleaner the malicious code wouldn't run if your OS was 64-bit.

If this is true then the number of infected users should be significantly lower than initially thought.

Destroyed the laptop, and take a new one.
We have a strict policy where even if there is a suspected breach, the incriminated device must be terminated.

Wow ! That is impressive security measures

I don't use CCleaner, but should i have been concerned i would have scanned the system with multiple antimalware (Malwarebytes, HitmanPro, Zemana, etc...) and make a clean install if something nasty was found.

I rolled back to a backup before i got the portable version and changed my most important passwords since i didnt't trust them that they told us the whole truth

The infection had nothing to do with Avast. The attack started before Avast bought Piriform.

nope

 

[paulderdash]

nope

Yip. 'The infection had nothing to do with Avast. The attack started before Avast bought Piriform' is correct.

Uninstalled v33, then installed v34.

btw, I'm on 64bit, so I wasn't too concerned. Also ran some scans to make sure. No Malware found.

same!

But there's some confusing blogs around stating different versions having this behavior. zzz
So uninstall permanently for now..
