Initial reports said the malware had the ability to download a second-stage payload and execute other malware, but this feature was never used.Īfter analyzing the C&C server's database, researchers said operators infected 20 computers around the globe. Thats what NoScript those for me, it allows me to visit nasty, not trustworthy sites and come out smelling like a rose.Īfter analyzing these files, researchers realized that initial reports on the CCleaner malware - named Floxif - were false. In my case, the sharks in those waters became sardines, they dont do nothing to you. And it is if your security depends on antiviruses and that kind of programs to protect yourself. I read someone here in another thread talking about the internet being like 'Shark infected waters'. Thankfully, I use NoScript, NS tame the sties. One thing I can tell you though, I visit all kind of sites, nasty sites to stream live sports, and they are bad.

I install very few programs, the lesser the better, that's part of my security approach but you need to update sometimes.īy the way, I never mention common sense when I talk about running without AV, to me personally, it has nothing to do with what keeps me safe. I always kind of felt safe downloading from the developers site but this case here and others like it make it obvious that from now on, not even that is safe. But this CCleaner infection is one case where I would have been infected if I had installed 5.33 in my 32 bits W7 and none of what I do for protection, would have protected me.

Even though piraform is usually safe, this time it wasn't.Hi pparks1, I haven't used an AV in a long time, I dont even use on demand scanners and learned how to handle security without using anything but one program, and NoScript for browsing. My general point i was trying to make is that common sense and only visiting trustworthy websites would not have been enough here. In this case, it was too new and AV wasn't catching it. I used it for years, tried Norton disastrously for a change and have been back with Kaspersky for 4 years now happily.Understood. I'm a big fan of Kaspersky and I doubt it's reliability will diminish because Trump's government doesn't like the Russians (or says it doesn't ). Yes, my Kaspersky seems to have found and deleted it on 19th - didn't even know about this until tonight when looking into why my daughter's CCleaner on her laptop kept refusing to update (separate issue). Mind you, this is something I've wondered about ever since starting to use it myself, though I am hopefully far too low-level for them to be bothered about and apart from that, it does its job very well. Best Buy have pulled it from their shelves. While talking about Kaspersky, the Wired article mentions that it has its own trust issues as US Government have barred its use on their systems due to suspected associates in the Russian Government. By digitally signing the package before distribution, they effectively rubber-stamped the injected malware!.

But Kaspersky did not find it yesterday in its 9 am full scan so clearly, as you also found, malware datbases were only updated yesterday.Īccording to an interesting article at this may just be the thin end of the wedge - and Avast/CCleaner are not the first trusted vendor to be 'hacked' like this. Kaspersky also found it when I scanned the file just now, deleted/quarantined the file.
