False positive ... and it also blocks your download to Piriform website of the CCleanr 3.15 version also.. thus no running of program or even download...

but a NICE advertisement for UPGRADING ... :o

Comment:
Wrong place to show your otherwise good product on... WHEN IT IS BEEING wrong.

Added info:
Three seconds after posting of this ... an update to 120501-1 came through... Problem solved. Impressive response time.

First thread I found.

vps:120205-1 fixes the detection with CCleaner. Updating should solve this issue.

(Not exactly sure on other detections though...)

I was just launching ccleaner...and this thing came out!

it scared the s**t out of me!  :'(

i cannot run ccleaner even after disabling file shield why?

Maybe you should have read it all before you posted. >_>

Same Here, was installing ccleaner's latest version 3.15.1643 today and avast reported that there is malware in it, had to add ccleaner to exceptions to make it work.
