Fake updater popup / exploit ?


Gravelaxe

Recommended Posts

Hi am using v4.17.4808  Win 7 home . I kept getting pop ups saying ccleaner version is old update now and when I clicked 1st time took me to piriform webs and message that i already have latest version . So I keep getting this pop up and after ignoring for a while i thought lets sort it out . So I click on it and a window opens saying program configuration is missing and Okay ? / Close?  I click to close and another window opened briefly like a download of some kind the writing was obscured . Have I been hacked ? Is this a known exploit ?
AV can't find anything but that don't always mean not compromised . 0.o !

Do you have javascripts blocked in your browser, the version checker relies on js I believe.

 

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
