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.

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. :)
