Re: ADWcleaner_7.2.2 : mon PC ne peut pas lancer l'application !

Bonjour,

Pouvez-vous re-télécharger AdwCleaner via ce lien : https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1-adwcleaner/

Essayez à nouveau de lancer AdwCleaner et dites moi si le problème est toujours présent.

Cordialement.

Re: False Positives

Version 7.2.3 didn't fix false positives (SpywareBlaster immunization), but now it also detects two new items :

Adware.StartPage                HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\zonemap\domains\qwertysearch123.biz Adware.StartPage                HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\zonemap\domains\quertysearch123.biz

Re: False Positives

The items listed under domains in the original post will have been given a value of 4 in the registry.  This figure means they are "blocked" (by SpywareBlaster or whatever) so should never be reported by ADWCleaner.  We have had this type of FP before so it seems ADWCleaner needs to be programmed to ignore those with that value.

Re: False Positives

I got the exact same results after downloading version 7.2.2, so it probably is a FP.

False Positives

No detection with version 7.2.1

All these reg keys are restricted sites in IE11 (SpywareBlaster protection).

False positive?

Greetings. I have these two detections:

PUP.DownloadProtect.Heuristic   HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\POLICIES\GOOGLE\Chrome

PUP.DownloadProtect.Heuristic   HKLM\SOFTWARE\POLICIES\GOOGLE\Chrome

Are they false positives or a real threat?

Thanks in advance.

Re: annoying google chrome cookies

Thank you!   I did get rid of some Ad issues using another program. spybot, but it brings some minor issues with it. Also, it is not free.
