Beware Malware In CC Cleaner
Members using the software program CC Cleaner be aware that they have found Malware embedded in the program.
Hackers were able to hide malware inside legitimate versions of CCleaner, a popular privacy and PC optimization tool that cleans cookies and junk files out of computers. CCleaner customers have been urged by the software maker to update their software to the most recent version available.
The malware was able to run undetected for nearly four weeks before it was independently discovered by two outside security companies, Morphisec and Cisco’s Talos, in September. In that time, infected versions of the security app were downloaded by at least 2.27 million people.
