Yes this happened after Avast or while they were taking over the company. I not sure what it says for Avast and CCleaner and their servers.
I use both companies products but hackers are quite resourceful. It should be a wake up call for so called "trusted sources".

That was a scary thing to read. I don't have CCleaner on my new rig but I've used it before.shawross wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2017 8:14 amYes this happened after Avast or while they were taking over the company. I not sure what it says for Avast and CCleaner and their servers.
I use Noocube all the time and both companies products but hackers are quite resourceful. It should be a wake up call for so called "trusted sources".
