Several people have reported that BitDefender is detecting a virus in the ccleaner.exe file.
This is a false detection and I'm looking into the issue.

Hi Sir,

Not only Bitdefender give this warning but also Bullguard. But maybe this is because Bitdefender uses the same engine as Bullguard.

It concerns a TROJAN :

I've contacted BitDefender and they've swiftly updated their antivirus definitions, so that it should no longer cause a problem. :D

Can someone who uses BitDefender confirm this for me?

I guess it's still a little too early and they haven't updated their definitions yet but I"m gettin the same warning. I'll post later when/if it's been fixed.

Hey everyone.

I just updated my Bullguard Security Suite to the latest dbase version. I tried to download CCleaner again and this time CCleaner is CLEAN !

I repeat : NO LONGER VIRUS WARNINGS IN CCleaner.

Thx for the support Sir.

Kind regards.
