How do we know the latest version isn't infected too?

32-bit systems only.

Are you sure? I downloaded CCleaner ccsetup534pro.exe on the 12th and installed it on the 13th. I'm on 64-bit, but may have downloaded a 32-bit version.

Am I affected?

Bitdefender hasn't picked anything up yet.

That sucks.

I use Glary Utilities now so I should be safe right?
