Re: CCleaner targetted?
CCleaner didnt get infected. its a program . Machines get infected.
I'm not sure what you mean with your Intel analogy ,
What appears to have happened here is that some ner-do-well has hacked into AVGs house , and planted their virus inside the downloadable update for CCleaner.
So AVG and their cleaner program were "targetted" but not by the malware.
I'd still like to know exactly how the malware got in there
