    Probably a good idea.

    Are there any possible downsides to that?

    Wondering if Speccy is next?

    A buyout by Avast can't be good in the long run. Maybe a reduction in the features of the free versions as they attempt to get paid for their buyout.

    Speccy isn't as well known as ccleaner so there won't be so many victims for them.

    CCleaner: A Vast Number of Machines at Risk

    I submitted the detection to Piraform and to Malwarebytes. Just hoping it's a false positive but too many circumstances lead me to believe this may just be an another attack on CCleaner. Had that program many, many years, now I am wondering about keeping it.

    Turns out that was Ransomware. Deep Scanning that machine with WD now. 32 bit machine scanned and found nothing devious.

    I don't know what triggers ransomware, but I have not cold started the machine in several days and use hibernate at night. It is also Bit Lockered if that mattered.

    Seems even Ccleaner 64-bit may have had Trojan.Nyetya in the pile.

    Malwarebytes did find and quarantine, doing scans as I type.

    After Malwarebytes quarantined the Trojan ran another scan with it and then deep full scan with WD no further threats found.
    Feel lucky...so far.

    This is disturbing as this could happen to any common third party app that's free and widely distributed. Guess we need to be extra cautious when downloading such apps now. This is why I also do a manual scan before opening anything. Still...
