I checked the 2 registry keys it found in regedit both belong to HP Smart Web Printing, legit software that works with my HP printer

did a websearch on this CLSID  (I think thats what it's called), associated with it

{555D4D79-4BD2-4094-A395-CFC534424A05}

And it's also associated with HP Smart Web Printing.

Any way to whitelist this?

Re: ADW False postiive registry reporting

If you need a file name or so

hpswp_bho.dll. I did a websearch and saw a filename associated with that CLSID as well

found it on

line:

EB: HP Smart Web Printing: {555D4D79-4BD2-4094-A395-CFC534424A05} - C:\Program Files (x86)\Hp\Digital Imaging\Smart Web Printing\hpswp_bho.dll

Again, it's legit HP software thats on the installation disc that came with my printer

Re: ADW False postiive registry reporting

Greetings,

I've fixed these FP. They should no longer be detected, can you confirm it?

Thanks!

Regards.

Re: ADW False postiive registry reporting

Yep it's been removed from the detections so adwcleaner didn't find anything.

 

Thank you!
