Since the recent update of Panda's free cloud-based anti-virus, I've had a problem when trying to update to the latest version of CCleaner.
It will let me download the .exe file to run and update the program, but as soon as it's finished Panda quarantines it as a possible threat. >:(
I've added Piriform as a safe website to Panda, but it makes no difference as it lets me onto the website no problem.
Any ideas how I can get around this?

I have found a few threads on various Panda forums about issues between CCleaner and Panda so you're not the only one having problems. Most likely it's a false positive and seems to come and go with the virus definitions updates in Panda from what I've been reading.
No problems anywhere.
Never even occurred to me to do that.
Restored the file, and installed the latest version.
Just damned annoying why it does it in the first place.
Thanks.
So I've done a restore to the Cloud version. Anyone else had problems ??

I'd think something was wrong if it took even 10 minutes to scan my system! Mind you I suppose it comes down to how much stuff it has to wade through on the hard drive and how much garbage it encounters along the way
A scan with CCleaner completes in under 1 min.
It even wiped free space in under half an hour
