"BleachBit" significant malicious?!
In search of a Windows „Cleaning Tool“ I found several recommendations for "BleachBit". My download of "BleachBit-4.4.2-setup.exe" was followed by a multi-scan executed by "Hybrid Analysis". Result: AV detection was marked as clean but "Falcon Sandbox" reported Thread score: 100/100 malicious (with several malicious and many suspicious indicators) s.:
My main interest is the deletion of annoying files and folders which are still remaining after remove of applications and which can‘t be deleted with e.g. Windows or „Revo Uninstaller“.
Many thanks in advance for competent feedback or useful alternative solutions.

BleachBit is a very common junk cleaner and as popular as ccleaner. INfact, bleachbit contains more areas for cleaning than ccleaner. I have been using bleachbit with bitdefender for past couple of years and the vendors who are detecting bleachbit as malicious have a false positive detection.
