I submitted this to ESET as a false positive. It would be nice is Microsoft allowed one-time only exceptions.This is the first time ESET detects CCleaner as malware. Exceptions can also cause problems when hackers know which applications are exceptions they can label there malware the same way.

Using the paid version of Ccleaner does not generate the error.ĭefender will also allow you to make exceptions so you can install the packaged software.

#CCLEANER MALWARE DETECTED SOFTWARE#

Ccleaner is probably packaging their new browser or some other software with ccleaner and the problem is likely harmless in this case. PUA's can potentially allow major malware problems and Microsoft should never have disabled them in the first place. Personally I would not recommend using AuditMode. Set-MpPreference -PUAProtection AuditMode It is more commonly known as PUP for Potentially Unwanted Program. PUA indicates Potentially Unwanted Application. for those using Windows Defender and not getting the error, the Defender PUA detection at some point was turned off in Defender as default and needs to be manually turned back on.

The problem is back, it has something to do with bundling multiple applications in the installation exe.

#CCLEANER MALWARE DETECTED PORTABLE#

Perhaps it's a good thing that Microsoft started flagging Avast / Piriform installers bundled with bloatware as PUAs if this serves as an incentive for Avast to finally finish their 10-year-old "to-do" list.Ħ4-bit Win 10 Pro v1909 build 18363.900 * Windows Defender v.10 * Firefox ESR v68.11.0 * CCleaner Free Portable v

Customers are still smarting from the latest fiasco that forced Avast to disband their Jumpshot subsidiary in January 2020 (see the PC World article Update: Avast Kills Jumpshot Data-Collection Business After Privacy Concerns Mount as well as Reuter's Avast Pulls Plug on Jumpshot After Data Privacy Scandal) and were hoping these questionable business practices would be a thing of the past. I might be "used to" Avast pre-checking check boxes in their installers to install bundled software but I'm not happy about it, and I'm not sure why bundled Google products like the Chrome browser are the exception unless your third-party partnership agreement stipulates that Avast won't be paid a commission unless the check box for the Google product is pre-checked. Sorry, but I have to take issue with that comment.

#CCLEANER MALWARE DETECTED UPDATE#

It's been that way since 2010 and most people are used to it by now, but as mentioned in previous posts here it has been on our "to-do" list for a while to try and get that into the same accept/decline presentation as well. CCleaner, one of the enormously popular free PC optimization suites for Windows, is now being detected as Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) on Windows 10 after a recent update to Windows. Their description of the Chrome precheck is accurate. It's been that way since 2010 and most people are used to it by now, but as mentioned in previous posts here it has been on our "to-do" list for a while to try and get that into the same accept/decline presentation as well. We've reached out to Microsoft suggesting that they might want to check their homework. They have the correct screenshot of the AVG offer in the Technical Information section (same layout as above with two separate accept/decline buttons) but caption it referring to a "preselection" which would also suggest a lack of proofreading. Aside from calling us CCcleaner (with 3 "c"s ) they have a screenshot of an Avast offer with a checkbox that was discontinued back in October of last year in favour of the transparent accept/decline on a separate page: That article seems to have been written in haste and is riddled with errors. Microsoft has updated the description of the PUA:Win32/CCleaner detection at
