A computer program used to help your PC run faster has reportedly become the latest victim of hackers looking to breach the security of millions of its users.
CCleaner, the computer-optimizing tool made by software company Piriform, was successfully infected by malware, according to security firm Cisco Talos. The malware reportedly tried to connect to unregistered websites in order to remotely download even more harmful programs to users’ computers.
Security experts say the Trojan horse-style attack hackers launched affected over 2 million CCleaner customers who downloaded the product in August.

If you have it on your computer you should probably dump it now. I always clean my registry manually. That way I know what I'm removing.
