yes i did. and the slim from stapp in #219. now your links: Code: https://download.ccleaner.com/slim/ccsetup632_slim.exe https://bits.avcdn.net/productfamily_CCLEANER/insttype_SLIM/platform_WIN_PIR/installertype_ONLINE/build_RELEASE same as you: first has no signing, second gen digital again. same for the pro. seems that all files from ccleaner(dot)com are not signed, for what reason ever. my latest downloads were from ccleaner(dot)com, but i did not look for cert. my version has stuck months before because "piriform" has changed the menu left side i dont like. buts thats not important, very rare use. oh, this might important: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=avcdn&ia=web https://support.avg.com/answers?id=9065p000000kHARAA2 avcdn belongs to AVG, that may be important. but why AVG when Avast has aquired piriform? it could be that avg servers auto-sign its files while ccleaner does not.
Didn't know this functionality servers have. Perhaps this explains why stapp got a file signed by Piriform and a few minutes later I got the "same file" from the same link signed with an earlier date and by Gen Digital. It's still very strange for me, though.
servers can perfom a lot in background, eg. signing on upload in special designed folders/subfolders for upload.
Can anyone confirm this from their side? There are two exes one Ccleaner and Ccleaner64 on programs files I think it was the first one. I send VT and while it wasn't detected there a community message that stated it could be an info stealer
Hi Azure Phoneix: What is your Windows OS, CCleaner build and version (e.g., CCleaner Free Portable v6.32.11432, etc.) and antivirus, and did the comment on VirusTotal mention a specific "info stealer" detection or was this just an opinion / conjecture on someone's part? See my 18-Nov-2024 post # 206 about how my Microsoft Defender antivirus started quarantining my downloaded CCleaner Portable (ccsetup6xx.zip) files as Trojan:Win32/Sonbokli.A!cl starting with ccsetup629.zip (which, perhaps coincidentally, is also the first version of CCleaner v6.x that added forced upgrading of Cleaner versions older than one year to the latest version per my post # 209). There are also several recent posts in this topic about discrepancies in the signing of digital certificates for some CCleaner executables. A Piriform / Avast employee posted <here> in the CCleaner forum that they were investigating the Trojan:Win32/Sonbokli.A!cl detections and then never got back to affected users so I stopped using CCleaner. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.5371 * Firefox v134.0.2 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24090.11-1.1.24090.11 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.2.5.158-1.0.5135 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783 * HDCleaner Portable 64-Bit v2.085 * ccPortable 6.31.11415
I already uninstalled it just in case. Just wanted to confirm if anyone that is using CCleaner got the same info if they check VT. Thanks
@lmacri I saw your post on the CCleaner's forums. Have you checked any replacement? Also see my previous post above yours about digital signatures inconsistencies.
Hi Azure Phoneix: I asked for clarification because you said in your post # 230 that a "community message" stated that CCleaner could be an "info stealer". That sounds like a comment was posted on the Comments tab of a VirusTotal report, not an actual malicious/suspicious detection *** by one of the ~ 70 virus scan engines that VirusTotal used to inspect the uploaded file. Can you tell us what CCleaner build (Pro, Portable, etc.) build you installed, provide a link to the page on VirusTotal where this comment was made about an "infostealer" in CCleaner, or last tell us which CCleaner executable (e.g., the 32-bit CCleaner.exe for v6.32.11432) you uploaded? _________________________________ *** NOTE: A low VirusTotal detection rate of 1/71 or 2/69 like the single detection shown in Mr.X's image in post # 233 by Skyhigh Security is typically a false-positive detection that can be safely ignored as long as well-known antivirus products like MS Defender, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, etc. all report the file is safe. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.5371 * Firefox v134.0.2 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24090.11-1.1.24090.11 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.2.5.158-1.0.5135 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783 * HDCleaner Portable 64-Bit v2.085 * ccPortable 6.31.11415
"artemis" is futile, unknow crap as a lot of the 60+ scanners. trust the most common known as microsoft, Kaspersky, Avast, Avira aso. but thats reason why i consider VT as fain/opium for the mass of users, they dont know how to read the result. ccleaner.exe is x86 while ccleaner 64 is x64 - prefer that on which fit your system. windows 64-bit has advantages with "64.exe". 32-Bit Programs are limited and cannot scan x64 places with tricks. and yes, ccleaner is an info stealer, it wants access to the web.
Hi Mr.X: I tested a few CCleaner replacements (BleachBit, ccPortable, HDCleaner, Privacy Eraser, PriviZer, Wise Disk Cleaner) but I had very specific criteria (see the list of features I wanted in my 18-Nov-2024 post # 2718492 of Deanna McElveen's SCleaner — Stay ahead of the cleaning in the AskWoody.com forum), so most of those disk cleaners didn't meet my particular needs. I only used the Custom Clean feature of CCleaner v6.x to do basic disk cleaning like purging of System Temp Files and Recent Documents lists and cleaning of my MS Edge browser (which is not my default browser). Right now I'm doing some in-depth testing comparing ccPortable v6.x (basically a CCleaner Portable clone, which is not a good thing in my opinion) vs HDCleaner Portable v2.x and suspect I'll be sticking with HDCleaner. However, I do find that HDCleaner's Browser Cleaner and System Cleaner can be a bit more aggressive than CCleaner's Custom Clean if you use the default settings. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.5371 * Firefox v134.0.2 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24090.11-1.1.24090.11 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.2.5.158-1.0.5135 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783 * HDCleaner Portable 64-Bit v2.085 * ccPortable 6.31.11415
What is the thing calling HiBit, about what you're talking? I see things like this on the www.hibitsoft.ir website: HiBit Uninstaller, HiBit Startup Manager, HiBit System Information. Are you talking about this or some other HiBit? When you talk about this, what or how can you compare them if they are something completely different than CCleaner?
Yes, Hibit uninstaller, there are several other features included such as: Not the same as Ccleaner but its all I need. To clean my browsers I just use their built in functions.
Hi Azure Phoneix: I couldn't find the exact comment on VirusTotal you are referring to but I would have to agree with Brummelchen's comment in post # 236 that "infostealer" is probably an apt description of CCleaner v6.x just based on the amount of data it collects from your system. When I was still using CCleaner v6.x I created inbound and outbound blocks in my Windows Defender Firewall to prevent traffic from CCleaner64.exe through my firewall (see the How-To Geek article How to Block An Application from Accessing the Internet with Windows Firewall). I also know of a few CCleaner users who have gone even further and edited their hosts file to block connections to and from backend Avast servers (e.g., shepherd.ff.avast.com, analytics.ff.avast.com, etc.) - see WiseWiz's 14-Jul-2023 post in Welcome back to CCleaner Professional in the CCleaner forum for one example. After the recent Trojan:Win32/Sonbokli.A!cl detections of my CCleaner Portable builds (ccsetup629.zip and later) I mentioned in post # 231 I finally decided to wipe CCleaner Portable v6.30 from my system per my 23-Dec-2024 topic How to Remove Last Traces of CCleaner Free Portable v6.x? in the CCleaner forum and look for a (hopefully) less intrusive replacement. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.5371 * Firefox v134.0.2 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24090.11-1.1.24090.11 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.2.5.158-1.0.5135 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783 * HDCleaner Portable 64-Bit v2.085 * ccPortable 6.31.11415

@Mr.X Your download link above for the slim version shows different properties than the one from the official builds page here. https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds Your link shows that it was signed a week before the one on the official builds page.
