cslcm Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hello Could an official Piriform staff member please confirm for 100% certainty that the Speccy download from the same Piriform server was not compromised during the breach? I downloaded and installed Speccy during this period, and it seems weird to me that they would target one binary on the server and not the other.

Moderators Andavari Posted September 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2017 In the meantime you can upload the setup file you downloaded to VirusTotal to scan it with dozens of antiviruses: https://www.virustotal.com/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did exactly what you typed us to do. I downloaded Speccy today (from https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/download/standard), and scanned it with the link you provided. Results are below: I Chose CCleaner.com to download from Virustotal.com (as you linked) : Result shows positive File version Latest comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Dave CCleaner Posted May 30, 2019 Admin Share Posted May 30, 2019 This is a false positive. VirusTotal results need to be interpreted with care - detection by a single AV engine out of the 71 (or by a couple that sublicence each other's pattern files) generally indicates that nothing is actually wrong, especially if a file has been around long enough for everyone else to "catch up" if there really is a problem. Notice that despite being released over a year ago, Speccy 1.32 is not detected as having any issues by any of the major AV vendors. The three that do are triggered by presence of the Google toolbar offer in the install file. For reference, the hacked CCleaner product (Version 5.33) from 2017 has a report that looks like this: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/1a4a5123d7b2c534cb3e3168f7032cf9ebf38b9a2a97226d0fdb7933cf6030ff/detection Piriform Homepage - [CCleaner - CCleaner Mac - CCleaner Android - CCleaner Browser - Recuva - Speccy - Kamo] - Product Support Looking for your licence key, expiry date or download link?
