Avast Detecting Ccleaner

Just a little curious. Why would you analyze your own product as PUP/malware.
Setup was downloaded from www.ccleaner.online

Ref: cleaner.online

well it is only 5 minutes since piriform became part of avast software :wink:

anyway, correct website URL is http://www.piriform.com/

The URL you provided is Blacklisted

Not showing above but also blocked by F-Secure

This seems like fraudulent site. Correct one is:
https://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER

The one you want :-\ seems full of crap

Helps to also use adblockers to protect you from infected and/or fraudulent sites such as:

  • uBlock Origin
  • Privacy Badger
  • Avasts own AOS

Always go to original vendor’s site to get programs. In this case it is piriform.com.

In this case detection by avast is correct.
