Lol, I deemed this software rather disruptive and destructive a long time ago, already.

only the 32 bit version was affected.

I've already updated without the uninstall, should be okay

I use this in my computer store. It's quite good and we put it on ALL of our systems. If you use the correct settings it's perfectly safe.

Good that they caught this and fixed it quickly. Well done Piriform. :rock:

I had that version installed, but I didn't download it from Piriform but rather Filehippo. Not sure that version was infected as I scanned my entire system with 3 different AV software. Nothing was found.

Well the second latest version has a built in updater.....and about fricken time too.
