Hello all,

AdwCleaner (last version: 5.007) found 3 following entries:

***** [ Dossiers ] *****

Dossier Trouvé : C:\Users\###\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna

***** [ Fichiers ] *****

Fichier Trouvé : C:\Users\###\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna

***** [ Navigateurs ] *****

[C:\Users\###\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Secure Preferences] [Extension] Trouvée : icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna

These items are actually linked with a harmless Google Chrome add-on, called "New Tab Redirect",  found here:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-redirect/icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna?hl=fr

 

Is it possible to prevent AdwCleaner to detect these entries? 

Thanks in advance.

Sardion.
