I did not realise that Kaspersky made CCleaner.

I can't read the whole article as it's behind a pay wall.

Anyway, CCleaner is not owned by Kaspersky, it was until recently owned by a private software house but it has since been bought out by Avast.

That was all they had in The Times.

I searched the story on other sites and CCleaner was not mentioned.

The Times can make mistakes like anybody else,I suppose!
