Default Hackers hid malware in CCleaner software

Thanks, it sure gets you to that page a lot quicker, clever boy

What free software do you recommend for checking this in the future?

I have Wireshark, for example, but it's complex to use (as you may know).
I also have Fiddler4, & TCPView, & Glasswire.

None of those would have caught it though because all are active sniffers.

What free software, as a passive sniffer, do you recommend that
would/should have caught the spyware in CCleaner when even Avast & Kapersky
didn't catch it?
