i tried to cleanup but it keeps coming back ? is it a false positive or should i worry ?

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

i opened this version but it gives me message that its outdated , is this normal? i scanned anyway and its clean, so im safe and its a false positive ?

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

Hello,

Yes, please ignore the update prompt.

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

So i'm safe and it was false positive ?

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

If it would be a false positive, you would be safe, I am not sure it is. Have you tried doing a full scan with your anti-virus software and Malwarebytes? Did they pop up a false positive as well? It is always best to check with multiple anti-malware software before jumping conclusions. 

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

yes i scanned, nothing has been detected

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

hey, there was someone in here who commented on this thread with a link to how to remove some adware, the link was a tutorial or something on a website. I clicked on it to check it out but my AV blocked it as it was malicious (i didn't download or clicked anything just my AV blocked it), did i just got infected or what ? (the comments got deleted by someone) can anybody answer me please ?

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

Hello,

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

Everything is fine here. Previous detections were indeed FPs.

Regards.

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

Thank you so much for your help. just another thing, this guy who's commenting here and posted a malicious link, should i worry about that ?

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

Nothing to worry about that since your AV blocked the website.

His account has been banned.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

Glad the issues have been sorted out. For future reference, I recommend installing some form of Adblock, as not only that prevents malicious ad pop-ups but also some malicious websites as well. Additionally, you can check any link before clicking it using Virus Total or Scanurl. Good luck!
