I just did a scan of my computer using Spyware Doctor by PC Tools. C:\Program Files\CCleaner.uninst.exe is listed as a Trojan.Popuper.Downloader infection. Further it states the Trojan claims to improve your medias video quality...

I have placed the entry in Threats to ignore for now. Is this something I need to be concerned about? Did I download something with CCleaner that would cause this to happen?

Thanks-

Mike...

Not to worry Mike, its a false positive. if you installed it with the yahoo toolbar that might be what redlighted it. But i doubt it. & Mrg Is aware of the problem. & am perty sure contacted the people at spydocter to resolve the problem. good luck . Cowboy
