Didn't see a contact to alert Piriform, but all might want to check their spam boxes and GMAIL users may want to "report not phishing" via more options when viewing message.

This is the first false positive I've noticed and I'm all for what GMAIL is doing, but I appreciate Piriform and especially CCleaner and don't want their subscribers - or potential customers :) - to miss out...

So just a heads up to an admin and email subscribers. ;)

/this assumes newsletter announcing Ccleaner v2.16 is not phishing by another site - if so, they're doing it wrong, cause the link goes to ccleaner.com :)

interesting. i also consulted with WOT and it found this site to be within tolerable parameters.

From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related.
They have helped me and many others in the past. Excellent hints and advice!
