I use CCleaner but I do not install it as there is a portable version.

 

I would not say you would need to reinstall windows the malware will be in the top vendors definitions now, just scan with malwarebytes , hitman pro , zemana , emsisoft etc and you should be good.

You never know, I don't trust it. They won't even acknowledge they had a problem lol

 

Already reinstalled, no big deal. Took me 30 minutes or so.

Acronis can be free if you look in the right places ;) and no not pirating it lol

I'm not surprised, by the way, this app delete windows files, which is not great.

This thread is 4 years old. Also deleting Windows tmp files is fine, when I used to use windows as my OS CCleaner was a great app. That malware issue was sorted out back in 2017 too. :)
