False Positive? C:\ProgramData\mntemp

user_avatar SomeGuy9

AdwCleaner has found the following:

***** [ Folders ] *****

Folder Found : C:\ProgramData\mntemp

Folder Found : C:\ProgramData\Application Data\mntemp

-These appear during the startup of a program called Breakaway Audio Enhancer. I'm not sure if this is a FP or not. I've used Breakaway for a few years with no previous detections by AdwCleaner, but they have updated it for Windows 10 compatibility recently, so I'd like to know if this is normal.

Here is a link to Breakaway Audio Enhancer-

Re: False Positive? C:\ProgramData\mntemp

Unfortunately, "mntemp" is related to SearchProtect, so it's not a false positive - you can delete these folders.

For information, this detection is present in the detections since mid-2015.

Best regards,

Although AdwCleaner detects mntemp as being a folder, it is actually an extensionless file. I don't see any other signs of SearchProtect on my PC. After the cleanup/reboot with AdwCleaner, the files are gone, but they are literally immediately recreated every time I launch Breakaway Audio Enhancer. I don't understand why SearchProtect would be linked to the launch of Breakaway. I really hope it's just a coincidence in the file names. I posted on the Breakaway forum to see if anyone else has the same files on their system. I will post back here if I get any more news.

Hello,

I'm doing a more depth analysis and it should be included in the coming release.

Thank you for the feedback.

Re: False Positive? C:\ProgramData\mntemp

Hello,

Can you retry with the latest release (v5.111) : https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

The problem should be fixed.
