Sorry for the delay. I made some tests and removed it from the database. If you launch AdwCleaner with a working networking connectivity, the detection shouldn't happen anymore.
Best regards,
because these programs are installed along with other necessary programs, and are not removed through Add or Remove Programs applet setup
Hello,
What makes you say that these software are malicious and have to be removed ?
ADW cleaner wants to remove folders, files and extension :
Folders :
C\Users\name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\Extensions\elicpjhcidhpjomhibiffojppmmpil
Files :
C\Users\name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\LocalStorage\chrome-extension_eli...
LocalExtension settings\el...
subj. Amigo, Odnoklassniki and so on
Well, ADWCleaner wins. I did another check and found a series of PUPs that were not present before I installed Reimage Repair. Now I've got to try to find another program that will work as well as Reimage Repair did. It really did fix a lot of problems. Of course, trying to infect my system with PUPs and adware doesn't endear the program to me.
Thank you for everything.
If there was something other than Reimage Repair, I might understand, but, that is ALL that ADWcleaner found. I've done some checking, and depending on the source, some think Reimage is PUP/Adware, and some don't. All I know is, it cleared up a number of problems I was having, so I'm kind of reluctant to remove it.
