Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

ActiveX detections are usual FP's. Try doing an additional scan with Malwarebytes to confirm that. But I am fairly certain that these should not be detected. According to the internet and research that I did, ActiveX sets guidelines for processes, it can be exploited to some degree, but Adwcleaner would have removed them if found.

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

Thanks, I much appreciate the input... It would also be much appreciated if one of the administrators would chime in on this topic to verify that all the "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries are truly FP's, and if so will there be an update to correct this.

In the thread, "False Positives V7" by, SWBUser, his log file also contains a long list of  "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries as well.

Thanks

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

A quick bump up the post to get admins/mods here to confirm and double check my concerns.  Also, the other thread hasn't been confirmed by admins/mods as well. We will see how it turns out, could be just another bug with Adwcleaner.

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

I just installed version 7.0.2.1 which is newest release of Adwcleaner. I ran a scan and it came back clean. None of the previously detected Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility registry entries were detected by the scan...  Happy Days!!!

Thank you for fixing the problem...
