Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional

Thanks Bernard. Good point on adding to firewall if happens again. Was thinking same thing -- that it's not a real hijack or spyware. Glad to hear it from somebody with more IT proficiency. It only happens on one specific station on tunein, and I listen to a bunch so seems site specific.

Hi,

Don't panic, this is a classic "aggressive (scam) advertising" and a (real) false 'Zeus' alert! None zeus virus is present on your computer!

Re: version 5.016 ..... FP with Spyware blaster active x registry entries

I'm running adwcleaner version 7.0.1.0 and this is an issue even now and has been in the last few versions of adwcleaner.

It started with the version where you changed the programs interface.

Most of the time Adwcleaner finds five internet explorer active x registry entries but sometimes it can be over a hundred and the next time it's back to five again even though I have not done anything th...

Re: False Positives V7

Since V7 I've been getting false positives on all my machines - often ones reported by others.  I suspect they are down to using SypwareBlaster.  This is an old but quite safe program which puts kill bits in the registry to prevent undesireable stuff running.  I think it would be worth installing SpywareBlaster then "enabling all protection", then see what ADWCleaner makes of it.  Thanks.

False Positive v7?

Today I stumbled upon this detection whilst using Adwcleaner 7.0.1.0:

***** [ Registry ] *****

PUP.Optional.YahooChrome, [Key] - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Yahoo\SS

Afterwards I scanned with other virusscanners (Malwarebytes, MBAR, and Roguekiller) and none of them detected aforementioned registery key. Thus, it seems like a false positive generated by adwcleaner. 

Can someone confirm this?

Kind regard...

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

Thanks, I much appreciate the input... It would also be much appreciated if one of the administrators would chime in on this topic to verify that all the "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries are truly FP's, and if so will there be an update to correct this.

In the thread, "False Positives V7" by, SWBUser, his log file also contains a long list of  "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries a...

Re: problème au nettoyage adwcleaner_7.0.1.0

Bonjour,

Pouvez-vous partager le rapport de debug?

  1. Vous le trouverez ici : C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_Debug.log
  2. Vous pouvez ensuite le mettre en ligne sur le site suivant : https://up2sha.re - Un glissé/déposé vers la zone "Drop files or click to upload" devrait fonctionner.
  3. Puis partagez le lien généré dans votre prochaine réponse.

Merci.

Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.1.0

Greetings, hopefully, you can understand English. With the power invested in my by Google Translate, I will attempt to answer your questions. AdwCleaner doesn't install anything since it is a standalone software. If you haven't had any malware or there are no files that need to be quarantined/stored, there will be no reason to create a folder in C disk. Try doing a scan once. It should appear a...
