Malwarebytes picked it up for me, even though I'm on 64bit

Uninstalled... I read a few articles on this, is rather quite interesting tbh

I used to use CCleaner on my phone before Android added it in the latest update

I use ccleaner too much probably. I only have it clear out internet cache though. I had the affected version installed, it was quickly removed though.

This is another reason to why I never use closed source software. I would never trust shady, closed-source applications such as CCleaner.

Uninstalled too, even if it was the 64 bit version. Also, I preferred to remove Avast from my machines, not safe anymore..

===Update===

Apperently it was indeed targeting bigger companies like samsung and cisco etc... to obtain sensitive information from those companies. It is worse than they thought though because it contained a second backdoor or something (I read something about it this morning, I will add sources when I can), so it's not over yet.

Some sources also reported that the code was very good developed and that a lot of time/money was put into this malware. They also reported that there is a high possibilty they'll use it again.

Just removing the program WILL NOT remove the malware. Use something like Malwarebytes to clean out the malware.

Number one, I have a Mac so I dont really need to worry about needing a program like CCleaner, and Second, I just hate those programs as they most of the time are either AdWare, or just plain up as you said.. Malware.

Alot of them are shady, probably because cleaning your registry doesnt actually do anything. Its like infomercials selling you crap you dont need.
