Is CCleaner malware?

Hackers hid malware in CCleaner software. Hackers have successfully breachedCCleaner's security to inject malware into the app and distribute it to millions of users. ... This is an unusual attack as software similar to CCleaner is trusted by consumers and meant to remove “crapware” from a system.

How much do you get for making such malicious propaganda? Are You well paid?
Do you ever understand what you're talking about?
Do you know, that CCleaner is product of the same producer who makes Avast and AVG antivirus products? And also much more. And You speak about producing malware without any example.
Give at least on example.

I don't think using CCleaner will affect you negatively. I am using it from years and have no issues.

I use Wise Care 365 instead. CCleaner doesn't do a good job. But no, CCleaner is not malware.

CCleaner is no longer worth it. Just been hacked recently. It is not a malware but can be compromised by bad actors.
