After adwcleaner detected the CEF folder, I did some research to see what it was and could only find a single topic on it from the Malwarebytes. An elite member stated that the CEF folder is created by Steam. As it was only one person who claimed so, I decided to let Adwcleaner quarantine it and then I uninstalled adwcleaner. After restarting my PC, I ran Junkware and it only detected the harmless temp internet folder created by Window as usual. I also checked Appdata/Local and there was no longer a CEF folder. I re-installed Adwcleaner and ran it but it detected nothing. Then, I started up steam which stated it was installing an update. To verify the previous claim, I check and saw that the CEF folder was installed again at the same time as I started steam, thus confirming that the folder was indeed created by Steam. I ran Adwcleaner again and it did detected the CEF folder as a potential adware.

I just want to mention it, because I am a lazy butt and I wanted adwcleaner to be updated to stop detecting the CEF folder so I don't have to manually confirm there isn't anything else other than the CEF folder now that it is being detected.

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

Bonjour

Même détection au démarrage ce matin.

A noter, une mise à jour de java hier. Je suis également client STEAM.

Same for me today, it's Java (update yesterday)? or STEAM? or?.

Bonne journée

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

Bonjour. J'ai la même détection depuis aujourd'hui. J'ai tenté le nettoyage et au redémarrage cela m'indique que le nettoyage a été effectué avec succès, mais dès que je relance un scan, cela réapparait.

La dernière fois que j'avais fait un scan avec ADW Cleaner avant ça, c'était samedi et je n'avais rien.

A noter que je n'ai pas STEAM

 

 

Same here. But I have not STEAM.

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

Bon, j'ai supprimé le dossier manuellement, redémarré le PC et lancé un nouveau scan avec ADWCleaner, et ça n'apparaît plus sur le scan, mais le dossier CEF est revenu dans Appdata/Local.

 

 

EDIT : Bon, ben ADWCleaner le repère à nouveau.

 

EDIT 2 : Je pense que c'est un faux positif, j'ai ça sur mes 2 PC.

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

De mon côté, après suppression manuelle et redémarrage, le dossier CEF n'est pus présent dans Appdata.

Il existe un dossier cef (en minuscules) dans Acrobat reader et des fichiers cef_XXX dans STEAM.

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

En tout cas, en scannant le dossier avec Avast et MalwareBytes, je trouve aucune menace. 

Et en fait dans ce dossier CEF, il y a juste 1 sous dossier : User Data qui lui-même un sous-dossier, Dictionaries et il n'y a rien dans ce dernier.

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

Greetings,

As far as I know, its related to Widevine CDM plugin shipped with Chrome browser. It might be malicious in some cases. We will keep you informed about that. In the meantime, it should no longer be removed.

Regards.

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

@Solidou: la détection a été corrigée dans la mise à jour publiée il y a quelques instants.

Re: Adwcleaner detecting Appdata/Local/CEF

Ouais, c'est bon. Merci d'avoir prévenu. :)
