Administrators Marcos 5,259 Posted August 8, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 8, 2015 I assume it's CCleaner which has some potentially unwanted application embedded. If so, it's not a false positive. Potentially unwanted applications are not malicious and the detection is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken1943 22 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 You are correct. Forgot about the PUPs in their installer. They donot show up on every install. I download one new new version, put it on a flash stick and install on 5 machines. The PUPs don't show on every install. Strange but true !!

FYI, you have two alternative downloads on this page: hxxp://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Slim = has noting bundled in the installer. And a portable version. Personally I use the Slim.
