So after reading this whole thread, I’m pretty confused.
I attended to two machines as soon as I got home from work the evening that the problem was reported;
1)
64 bit
Updated cccleaner straight away, then uninstalled.
Bullguard and malwarebytes found nothing.
Could not find the mentioned registry entries.
2)
64 bit
Updated cccleaner straight away, then uninstalled.
Bullguard and malwarebytes found nothing, except the downloaded installer file in the downloads folder, which I then deleted.
Could not find the mentioned registry entries.
Can I assume that these machines are ok? I don’t particularly want to nuke them...
Would the trace registry entries have been removed when updating/uninstalling? I don’t know how else to see if I’m safe or not...
