Ask ExeTools: Best Antivirus & AntiMalware 2017

[cp74]

Hi,

Avast acquired Piriform, maker of CCleaner, but recently CCleaner was infected by malware and distributed to 2.3 million users. It was a two-stage backdoor that allows a remote attacker to execute code on an affected system.

hxxps://www.piriform.com/news/blog/2017/9/18/security-notification-for-ccleaner-v5336162-and-ccleaner-cloud-v1073191-for-32-bit-windows-users

So i believe any antivirus is better for the known threats, not unknown ones.
