False Positive - C:\Ap

user_avatar level2

Hello,

AdwCleaner found folder C:\Ap and removed the folder and everything underneath it.  It's a foldershare for one of our customer servers.  Not sure why it would be detected as malware?

Hello,

FP has been removed from the database.

FP?  or AP?

Re: False Positive - C:\Ap

FP = False positive .. :-) I removed "Ap" from the database as it was a FP.

Ah! :)  How can I delete the original quarantine files.  I no longer have access, and I restored via copy and paste then renamed the .vir extension via batch.  Now I no longer have access to the original quarantine directory to delete it.

You should use the quarantine manager instead. Please refer to the documentation to see how to use it.

Quarantine manager froze and was very slow.  I uninstalled per instructions on other thread.  Still no access to the directory.

Re: False Positive - C:\Ap

Hello,

Uninstalling AdwCleaner also remove the Quarantine folder, so you won't be able to access it then.
