Steven Gould's Ceanup! has been a legitimate application for many years for cleaning up junk files. ClamWin's latest scan reports cleanup.exe as being Win.Worm.Chir-199, which is a false positive. File submission to Jotti and Virus Total show that out of all the scans completed on said file, only ClamWin and Ikarus suspect it as being a worm (Ikarus reports it as being Win32.SuspectCrc). All other scans show this file as clean.
Scan report:

As I said before, Cleanup! is a legitimate application which should not be flagged as being a worm.
Thank you for handling this as expediently as possible.

ClamWin uses the scan engine and signature database provided by Clam AV. Please submit false positive detections and undetected viruses to Clam AV at their web site. Choose the Report option, and then choose either the option to report a false positive or undetected virus. It may take a few days, so if a false positive is involved, you can whitelist the file in ClamWin and restore it from quarantine via the ClamWin recover utility (start, ClamWin, then choose the recovery program).
Thanks for using ClamWin.
Regards,
