Moderators mta Posted October 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2017 my personal opinion on the Emergency Update feature - it's a knee-jerk reaction to the v5.33 security breach, and there's nothing wrong with that. in that example, those with v5.33 would have received the patch a lot sooner than if they waited for the normal auto-update schedule. to stop using a malware infected program within hours instead of weeks has to be a good thing. the new feature's main purpose is to win back public trust, it ticks the boxes that they are listening and have a process in place to minimise a repeat. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators nukecad Posted October 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2017 So I get why the emergency updater has been introduced, but have a couple of questions.Why is it not shown as a scheduled task by CCleaner itself? (Even in Advanced Mode its not shown).Oh, and when naming the 'CCUpdate.exe' were Piriform/Avast not aware that there are exsiting programmes/processes that use the same name (albeit with a different mix of upper/lower case), at least one of which is associated with a 'worm'? (Just give it a quick Google).Heres an example: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/ccUpdate-758.html *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
