Trojan.Floxif - Hackers were able to include this malware into the CCleaner software (which was ironically meant to remove and protect your computer from malware!). A Trojan horse virus is one which is hidden behind legitimate software so that users are fooled into installing it into their computers, thereby putting their computers at risk. The strongest indicator of the presence of the Trojan.Floxif malware is the creation of a windows registry subkey called 'Agomo' in your system.
