  1. I think at this point I can rule out #3 (on my machine anyways) as I have been through a number of scan procedures with different software with no results found. Including MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Eset Online Scanner, Windows Live OneCare safety scanner. For rootkits: Gmer, Rootrepeal, Sophos Antirootkit, and more that I can't remember. There is a thread about it here as well: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=210893 I don't believe it is #2 either, as I have tried with backdated versions of CCleaner with the same result. My problem started shortly after renewing my subscription to SpySweeper and re-downloading the program, so my vote is for #1. This does not just involve Firefox's cache, see post #4. I tried to report this to Webroot using the supplied link in their reply, but only Piriform can report it and get Webroot to investigate.
  2. Win XP Pro. Yesterday I was deleting some old files, which have been on my computer for over a year and scanned hundreds of times in regular sweeps. When I ran CCleaner to clean things up SS triggered on 6 of the files in the recycle bin. I'm positive the files were OK, so I think there is a conflict with CCleaner and Spysweeper, unfortunately I updated both right around the same time. Going to try backdating CC and see if that makes a difference.
  3. Having a problem with my registered SpySweeper W/Antivirus giving file alerts for worm-koobface whenever I finish a web session and run CCleaner. This does not happen every time, but it happens often. The file it quarantines is always in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wgo54x7s.default\cache. This never shows up in a scan, only when CCleaner is run. (set at 7 passes) I have run several online scans with OneCare, Housecall, and Eset, and nothing shows up. I have also used RootkitRevealer, Gmer, RootRepeal, and Sophos Anti rootkit, and nothing out of the ordinary shows up, there is no infection on my machine. I recently renewed my SS subscription, and just in case, I uninstalled it and redownloaded it again from Webroot's site. I also re-downloaded the most recent version of CC from filehippo. Today I ran a little experiment, surfed a bit (at known and trusted sites), copied the Firefox cache file so I had an uncorrupted copy, scanned the original with no threat found, and then when I ran CCleaner I got a file alert for worm-koobface. I did this to narrow down which particular file was causing the trigger, because once CC runs, the file is overwritten. I then made a copy of the file causing the trigger, scanned it with no result, deleted it with no result, and when I ran CCleaner it triggered on the file in the recycle bin. I uploaded the file to virustotal with no threat found. I have a ticket open with Webroot regarding this problem and will post the results when they come in. The tech said he had another similar ticket, but neglected to mention if they used CCleaner.
