Piriform, which was acquired by Avast in 2017, probably used Avast's Emergency Updater as a blueprint for CCleaner's Emergency Updater functionality.Īvast released the feature back then as an alternative method to update the company's security programs if the default update function failed to do so. Piriform released a new version of the program with a new digital signature, but could not distribute it to free users due to a lack of automatic update functionality. Attackers managed to plant malicious code in CCleaner which was distributed for about a month from the official company website. The integration of the Emergency Updater component in CCleaner is likely a response to the recent hack of the company's infrastructure. The new version ships with two major changes, namely a new Emergency Updater feature, and new default cleaning rules for some programs.ĬCleaner 5.36 is available for download from the official company website, and also available as an in-program update for CCleaner Professional customers.įree users can download the portable version from the builds page which comes without adware.īy Martin Brinkmann on Octoin Software - Last Update:Octo37Įmergency Updater is a new feature of CCleaner that comes with its own executable file - CCUpdate.exe - and a new scheduled task called CCleaner Updater.
