Re: False Positive ?

the new adw version detected this for me too aswell as the complete world of warcraft beta and just deleted the whole game.

Im pretty pretty sure this shouldnt be detected or labeled as a thread or am i missing something? here the log:

Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

I have removed them and i know everything about the site. I just wanted to know if they are rather serious or just ad related. I remove them at the end of my day when i turn of my pc anyhow so i just wanted to be save in case they do something rather fishy (track keystrokes for example.)

Re: when a finally update of this 7.0.8 vers..??

Hi,
