I am having the same problem. About 3 months ago, CCleaner was setting off a false positive (in Webroot Internet Security) as it cleaning the cache files of Firefox. It was resolved after about 2 updates in CCleaner and Webroot. I use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for the double check. It showed no infection then and no infection for this latest false positive. I'll start a ticket at webroot site.

3/16/10 Update- The problem has stopped. My Webroot Internet Security Essentials program had a problem while I was adding a program manually to the firewall. It basically started doing some sort of updating repeatedly and after 15 or so minutes I had to manually turn off my computer. I restarted and Webroot Internet Security Essentials was downgraded to the standard Webroot AntiVirus with Spysweeper. I even re-downloaded the program and re-installed and it's still the standard Webroot AntiVirus with Spysweeper. Ball's now in Webroot's court...

This is exactly what happens to me. If I use other cleaner software ( Clean Disk Security, Webroot or even Firefox's own clear recent history>>clean cache) to clean my cache, there is no problem. I have done multiple security sweeps with multiple applications which all show no problem. It seems that there is a definitive trigger that CCleaner starts this behavior. By the way, did anyone else get a 6 month extension to Webroot? It seems that my subscription to Webroot Internet Security Essentials was extended, for free and without request, from Webroot. This happened near the same time that the koobface warnings started popping up....
