Same here Snoopz. I have the 64 bit version but reading the article certainly had me worried and smartly checking out which version I was using.

Avast's* CTO still reckons that about 2.27 million users have been affected, so worth checking which version is installed.

* Avast acquired Recuva, Speccy, and CCleaner developer Piriform for an undisclosed amount of money a couple of months ago.
