Potential false positives?

UPDATE: Just did a search for any Crossrider folders, didn't find anything. I think pando is used by several MMOs.

also Roguekiller and Mbam's threat scan didnt find anything

PUP is usually named a Potentially Unwanted Program. It doesn't always have to be malware or malicious software. If MMO's have their anti-cheat in form of "Pando", it might interact with files at the system level, which AdwCleaner could deem treating a very normal reaction. Keep in mind that different malware removal software targets malicious software different ways. While one anti-malware software might not find anything, another can. If multiple scans with different anti-malware solutions came out clean on your end, you shouldn't worry then. It is just warning you of potential threats.

Oh cool ran both a full and threat scan on mbam, AND did a boot time scan and rootkit scan in avast, they didn't find anythying either?

Safe to say these are all false positives? I don't see any Crossrider folders. I worry about any type of detection mainly because I'd rather not have anything that can sneak on to my usb drives I use to backup various stuff which would cause me to start back to square one since I don't know how to remove viruses from USB drives/external USB Hard Drives

If they weren't detected as major threats or some form of issues you should be good to go. AdwCleaner should clean up any actually malicious software, but other than that, you don't need to worry. If you want, you can do a full thorough system scan just in case. Avast full scan. Mbam, AdwCleaner and Hitman Pro, additionally use CCleaner to clean up your registry and cache files and you are set!
