The modified version, 5.33, is made available from August 15 until September 12 when version 5.34 was released.
From the statistics brought out by Piriform, CCleaner has been downloaded 2 billion times in total, 5 million times every week. It is difficult to say at this moment how many users might have been affected, but the numbers could be huge. They are also investigating how the files coming from their servers were modified before being released to the public. Piriform is aware of the situation and is acting to prevent further damage. The incident was discovered and reported by Talos. In case you are wondering why they were on those servers, Avast acquired Piriform, the original publishers of CCleaner, a few months ago. Threat actors have managed to change the files that were being delivered by Avast servers hosting CCleaner updates.

The trojan itself reportedly only ran on Windows 32 bit systems, but the values above were created on 64 bit systems as well. Malwarebytes will detect the presence of those values and flag them as These values are not created by any clean versions of CCleaner, just by the infected ones.

Just keep your PC as simple / as clean as possible and you will be fine. Keyboard only and it's faster and more efficient this way.

I hack websites, applications, work tools, to inject my own code to do my automation. I also happened to be a very lazy programmer, so, I like to hack things. * I'm no body, buy I work in a major game dev as a main programmer.
Can 1 dev, know how every other application inside out, write a algorism, safely clean up other people's mess? I doubt.) Exception might caught it so application won't crash but it's making your machine slower and slower.

I guess I just don't really trust these enhancements. Year of 2017, if there's a win10 Store alternative, I'll get it from the store cause they are sandboxed, they don't mess with my registry. I don't think there's much rubbish on my PC that needs "clean up" to "speed up". I don't keep installing / uninstalling applications. I don't DL anything weird from the internet. (and people strike when things goes wrong, we know where they are.) Most of my applications are from major big names, if they are not trustworthy, who are? Most of'em have huge user base too. I have Adobe, Microsoft products, 3dsMax, VisualStudio, Unreal, Havok lib, etc installed on my PCs. I never need these typpa enhancements tbh.
