![]() ![]() Much more important in our opinion than cleaning up Internet files is its powerful registry cleaner. it goes without saying.ĬCleaner will empty your recycling bin, backup the registry before 'cleaning' it and overall speed up your Windows experience. The latest version of CCleaner also runs faster than previous versions, though older systems still obviously run much slower than a PC with more resources. By doing that, it also cleans up your tracks.ĬCleaner has also recently added support for an array of different programs likely to be running on your system like Audacity, Silverlight, BitTorrent, Google Chrome, CuteFTP and TONS more. ![]() It cleans up temporary internet files, history, cookies and other junk left behind by hours of web surfing. Simply the best free registry cleaner, CCleaner supports both Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit. We encourage any user of the 32-bit version of CCleaner v to download the latest version of Piriform CCleaner found here: must-have Swiss army knife, freeware system utility. A more technical description of the issue is on our Piriform blog at: Again, we sincerely apologize for this and are committed to making sure nothing similar happens again. We are working with US law enforcement in their investigation. We are continuing to investigate how this compromise happened, who did it, and why. Between the 12th and the 15th, we took immediate action to make sure that our Piriform CCleaner v and CCleaner Cloud v users were safe-we worked with download sites to remove CCleaner v, we pushed out a notification to update CCleaner users from v to v5.34, we automatically updated CCleaner Cloud users from v to, and for users using Avast Antivirus, they received an automatic update. It would have been an impediment to the law enforcement agency’s investigation to have gone public with this before the server was disabled and we completed our initial assessment. Working with US law enforcement, we caused this server to be shut down on the 15th of September before any known harm was done. We have no indications that any other data has been sent to the server. The compromise could cause the transmission of non-sensitive data (computer name, IP address, list of installed software, list of active software, list of network adapters) to a 3 rd party computer server in the USA. ![]() CCleaner Cloud v was released on the 24th of August, and updated with a version without compromised code on September 15. Piriform CCleaner v was released on the 15th of August, and a regularly scheduled update to CCleaner, without compromised code, was released on the 12th of September. Issue Summary: Our new parent company, the security company Avast, determined on the 12th of September that the 32-bit version of our CCleaner v and CCleaner Cloud v products, which may have been used by up to 3% of our users, had been compromised in a sophisticated manner. We apologize and are taking extra measures to ensure this does not happen again. No other Piriform or CCleaner products were affected. We encourage all users of the 32-bit version of CCleaner v to download v5.34 here: download. This compromise only affected customers with the 32-bit version of the v of CCleaner and the v of CCleaner Cloud. We resolved this quickly and believe no harm was done to any of our users. We recently determined that older versions of our Piriform CCleaner v and CCleaner Cloud v had been compromised. ![]()
