Both virustotal and jotti identify a "Possible Threat!010437" when I scan ccleaner133.exe.
File size: 1493848 bytes
MD5: 40bd4f54632b17d28a5630b0beda3213
SHA1: b78311eb6ee4749bf2b49372fa7ef62be4a736ab
Jotti also identifies a packers: WISESFX DROPPER

We had an issue a few days ago: http://forum.ccleane...?showtopic=6763
As you can see in that topic, both Kaspersky and F-Prot fixed that false positive really fast.
Moreover, it seems that only Fortinet is detecting a 'possible threat', which constitutes no positive detection, but only a heuristic or behavioral one, perhaps due to the packer found.
As TM already said, it's just a FP and none of the AVs are actually flagging it as malware.
However, I have reported it.
