They’ve been real champs, and it’s been a looooong haul. “Thankfully I grabbed the installer packages for CCleaner, Recuva, Defraggler and Speccy before new versions of those products were released after the Avast acquisition. Rush to (Google-owned) VirusTotal and check to ensure you’re system isn’t affected? I smell honeypot, fingerprinting… oh, wait, that suggestion was (just) from Martin? I’ve never advanced (?) my winOS systems beyond win7 (usually booting to linux distros nowadays) and, as with all my other installed applications, CCleaner is NOT set to autoupdate… so I can’t guess when I might have noticed the acquisition. Until reading Martin’s article, I wasn’t aware that Avast had acquired Piriform.

I just want to point out that BleachBit is opensource, you can inspect its (python) code AND that you can submit issue tickets (or pull requests) to help improve its plugins toward achieving more thorough cleaning. Sad news and, yes, I agree that the circumstances (details, timing) are strange.Īnother comment here already mentioned BleachBit as an alternative a further comment reported that it doesn’t clean a thoroughly as other cleaners. With over 20 million downloads per month, and the updates, that is a high number of PCs that have been affected by this. The compromised versions of CCleaner and CCleaner Cloud were distributed for nearly a month.

The only suggestion that Piriform has is to update to the most recent version. Paul Yung, the company's VP of products, published a technical assessment of the attack on the company blog as well. We have no indications that any other data has been sent to the server. The compromise could cause the transmission of non-sensitive data (computer name, IP address, list of installed software, list of active software, list of network adapters) to a 3rd party computer server in the USA. According to that statement, non-sensitive data may have been transmitted to a server in the United States of America. Piriform issued a statement on September 18th, 2017. The malicious payload creates the Registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Piriform\Agomo: and used it to store various information.

You can download the free ClamAV from this website. The installer contained a "malicious payload that featured a Domain Generation Algorithm" as well as "hardcoded Command and Control" functionality. The download executable was signed with a valid Piriform signature. Talos Group"identified a specific executable" during tests of the company's new exploit detection tool which came from the CCleaner 5.33 installer which in turn was delivered by legitimate CCleaner download servers. Talos Group informed Avast, the parent company of Piriform, about the situation. Security researchers of Cisco's Talos Group revealed details about the successful supply chain attack.
