CCleaner Hacked
« on: September 22, 2017, 02:33:26 AM »

It appears that a particular version of the Windows PC utility "CCleaner" contains malware. News stories abound. Would be great if some of our resident IT folks could provide some interpretation and guidance.

Hi Frank,

5.33 is the hacked version. Avast (who owns Piriform) revoked the certificate for 5.33 and has released 5.35.

Best regards,
