Guest Stephen CCleaner Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The file has (or perhaps had) low reputation because it is very new. We did submit the file to VirusTotal well in advance of the release, you can see it here: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/c1984cfe42302d2eff0bee3640b0fab1a9be5c3c00222752f0e446b6199d3274/detection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noesis Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi Chevyone, you can probably try again now. I downloaded it and norton, after doing one of it's "extended" checks, (which normally only happens when it's going to fail a file), ultimately, said ccleaner548.exe was safe so, they must have upped it's reputation. FYI that WS.Reputation.1 type of threat isn't worth a whole lot in my opinion. It doesn't indicate any specific type of threat, it's based on a reputation score attained from data from the community, and is assumed a threat due to that, but when you boil it down it's not technically a threat, it's just possibly a threat based on what others say, so is about the only one where restoring a personally trusted program from quarantine is viable IMO. If in doubt restore it then upload it to something like Virus Total for a 2nd opinion (but to do this you still have to restore the file since Norton doesn't let you upload quarantined files to something like virus total for a second opinion without restoring it first, it's almost like they don't want you to get a 2nd opinion).
