False positive check(?)

Version 5.029 detected something new. Is it a FP? If not, what other scans should I run to make sure to remove the infection?

Here is the log:

Adwcleaner ne veut pas scanner

Bonsoir,

Je viens de télécharger Adwcleaner v.5.028 et il ne veut pas scanner. Il commence un peu et ensuite il est gelé. Je ne peux pas le fermer avec le X, Faut que j'aille dans le gestionnaire de tâche et  de faire fin de tâche.  Que se passe-t-il? Ce n'est pas normal.

Merci

Je mets une capture d'écran pour ce problème. J'ai Windows 10

Hello,

 

If you only run a scan, nothing will be modified on your system except a new logfile in C:\AdwCleaner\.

Thanks,

Hello,

Ah! :)  How can I delete the original quarantine files.  I no longer have access, and I restored via copy and paste then renamed the .vir extension via batch.  Now I no longer have access to the original quarantine directory to delete it.

You should use the quarantine manager instead. Please refer to the documentation to see how to use it.

Re: AdwCleaner

check internet explorer's settings, assuming that you are using "internet explorer", and see if "toolslib.net" has been added to IE's "restricted sites" zone.. if so, you will need to remove it from the list of "restricted sites"..

don't ask me how it was added to IE's "restricted sites" zone.. i don't know..

or, it is possible that microsoft has a blocklist for IE where the download is being...

False Positive - C:\Ap

Hello,

AdwCleaner found folder C:\Ap and removed the folder and everything underneath it.  It's a foldershare for one of our customer servers.  Not sure why it would be detected as malware?
