SearchScopes in my Internet Explorer Registry

user_avatar****

So ADWCleaner keeps finding SearchScopes registry keys in my Internet Explorer registry (even though I exclusively use Google Chrome) and it keeps removing the keys, but the keys keeps coming back.  Nothing else detects SearchScopes and I never notice any problems with Internet Explorer when I tried testing it to see if SearchScopes would do anything.

Is there a better way to remove SearchScopes since ADWCleaner just seems to be a bit of a revolving door for it, or is this a PUP that I can safely ignore due to my preference for Google Chrome?

Hello,

Can you share the whole logfile showing these detections ? (it should be in C:\AdwCleaner)

Regards,

Hello,

You may ignore this at the moment - it should be fixed in the coming v6, I'll be back to you at this time if you agree ?

Thanks,

So it's a false positive or something?
