Re: False positives?

I've had adwcleaner also pick these files up today as well. I'd sit tight for a bit and wait for a reply as i'm pretty sure these are false positives.

Re: False positives?

Hello,

No, they're not false positive - you can safely remove them.

Best regards,

Re: False positives?

Are you sure it isn't a false positive? I had these files detected as well, but on my pc, it's the uninstaller for a program called COUGAR UIX™ System. It's a driver/firmware installer and mouse function editor for the Cougar 700M mouse.

*EDIT* http://cougargaming.com/downloads/

This screenshot shows the file path for the uninstaller shortcut:

Here is the scan log from my pc:
