Sylvio Haas Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 HelloI tried to download the latest CCleaner version, 5.19, and before downloading I submitted it to Virus Total. Two of their associates, AVIRA and Dr. Web stated that it is a MALICIOUS SITE. I do not care so much for Dr. Web's statements, they are a little too much neurotic for my standards but AVIRA is serious. Could you please help me on that subject?Thank you. If possible, urgent, I still have the 5.18 version. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2016 A false positive from Dr.Web and Avira. They could both be detecting the 3rd party Google software in the normal installer. Instead of using the normal installer download the Slim installer which doesn't contain any Google software, it's available at: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvio Haas Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thank you for your prompt answer!I clicked on the Slim installer and got the very same statement when submitting to Virus Total!!But I will trust YOU, I am going to download and install it.I believe you guys should see what is happening!As I said, Dr. Web is forgettable, but this isn't the case of AVIRA.Thank you.

dpaulhesk Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Similar problem. ESET Antivirus 9 says that win32/bundled.toolbar.google.d is part of the download both from Filehippo and directly from Pirisoft.com. http://download.piriform.com/ccseup520.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted July 29, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2016 Similar solution dpaulhesk. Although your link doesn't work, I can see that you chose the "Standard installer ccseup520.exe" and not the "Installer, no toolbar ccsetup520_slim.exe". Here's the link again ... http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Scroll down to find the "Slim" build which is free from Google software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2016 Also ESET will typically detect the bundled in Google software and has done so for a long time now. With ESET the only solution with it if you don't want alarms going off is to use the Slim installer, or even the Portable ZIP version which has no installer. Again both are available on the Builds page: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
