Firefox pref Found - what does this option do and why is it considered malicious?

Hi all.

I googled before asking but never found anything relevant... So AdwCleaner found 1 threat, this is what is says:

Firefox pref Found:  [E:\Profiles\Firefox\prefs.js] - "extensions.quick_start.sd.closeWindowWithLastTab_prev_state" -  false

Anyone knows what this config option does and why is it dangerous?

Thanks.

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

Hello,

Sorry I was unclear. You can deselect the element "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" from the "Folders", and do a clean.

This element seems to be a FP caused by a generic detection.

Best regards,

Re: Menace Persistante après nettoyage

Merci. Pouvez faire ce qui suit ?

  • Téléchargez Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
  • Installez-le en laissant les options par défaut (décochez juste à l'installation "Activer l'essai gratuit de MBAM Premium"), une icône sera créée sur le bureau et Malwarebytes démarrera.
  • Onglet "Analyse" choisissez "Analyse des Menaces", puis cliquez sur "Lancer l'analyse".
  • Si un élément est détecté, choisissez de tout...

You mean this?

Thse issuses are in the log every time I do a scan. Either AdwCleaner does not remove them, or I still have some residual malware which puts it back.

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

Hello,

This detection is triggered by the fake firefox profile generic, which is a FP in your case.. Please uncheck it before cleaning.

Can you share the whole logfile too?

Thanks,

Re: Menace Persistante après nettoyage

Voici la marche à suivre :

  • Lancez AdwCleaner;
  • Cliquez sur le bouton "Analyser", patientez le temps de l'analyse..
  • À la fin de l'analyse, cliquez sur le bouton "Rapport" puis double-cliquez sur le rapport le plus récent dans la liste "Analyser";
  • Un rapport va alors s'ouvrir, partagez-moi son contenu dans votre prochaine réponse.

Merci !

Cordialement.
