I don't remember when was the last time I updated, nor do I have any other downloaded installers in my computer. I currently have CCleaner version installed (not the most recent one, since I won't be using CCleaner anymore, but still a "fixed" version - that is, 5.34 or higher). Is it possible that it was still sitting somewhere else, even after being deleted by normal means? Could that be cause for concern? Because Windows Defender instantaneously quarantined the file after finding the threat, I'm assuming that there's no way to tell if that file was, in fact, still in my Downloads folder.

I've always done this for CCleaner, since I use the free version, which requires manual updates (including downloading a new installer from their website).

Why didn't Defender find the threat before, during any of its automatic scans? Piriform acknowledged the hack on September 18, but, surely, a treat of "severe" alert level such as a backdoor should've been detected even earlier, like the moment I downloaded the installer? The file identified as the threat was "ccsetup533.exe" (the CCleaner installer), located in my Downloads folder. Still, soon after that, I received a notification that Defender had found and quarantined a threat: "Backdoor:Win32/Floxif", on (it was past midnight). It also had green check marks on every icon ("No action needed"/"You're using recommended settings").

It said that my device was "being protected" and that the last threat scan, threat definition update and health scan took place on. So, I opened the Windows Defender Security Center and everything was apparently okay. However, since the developer said that it only affected 32-bit Windows users, I didn't worry too much about it - until now.Īfter reading a reddit post about the case, I found out that even 64-bit Windows users had threats detected upon scanning their computers using either Windows Defender or Malwarebytes. I'd been using that software for well over a decade without any issues, so I was alarmed, to say the least, when the news broke out.
