Guys,
If you don't already know, the official Piriform CCleaner download servers have been compromised with malware for around a month (ironically, Piriform is now owned by AVAST!)
So, if you downloaded / updated CCleaner between 15 August 2017 and 11 September 2017 your machine is probably infected with malware.

You'll find more info about the malware in this tech report post: http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/0...lware.html
The malware has apparently now been disabled, but you should update to the latest version of CCleaner immediately. You can also use Malwarebytes to find and remove any infection.
HTH,
K :)
