Avira informs me that Ccleaner 5.51 is infected with a virus, called TR/Swrort.ofrgv.
I haven’t come across anything online about this threat, except for reports in 2017 when Ccleaner was distributed with malware, eventually found to be the work of hackers who compromised the servers of the company behind Ccleaner.
The Hacker News said that hackers got in there five months before replacing the legitimate Ccleaner with their own.
I’ve no idea where the blame should go this time, or even if my own computer has been compromised somewhere, but I’ve now downgraded to v. 5.50 and there have been no further alerts.
Anyone else had trouble with their Ccleaners?
