Hello,
Yes, you can remove these elements.
What exactly does this mean, and is this a real threat?
Yes, those elements have been detected with the heuristics detections (hence the family name).

The results of last scan:

What exactly does this mean, and is this a real threat? (because the updated interface is too confusing for me). Thank you in advance.
The latest version 7 options changes are not sticking. Wth Win 7 the tools/options window which opens does not have an Okay or reset button and any changes made dont even stick for the immediate scan ie the delete tracing keys and reset the Winsock cannot be changed even though the ticks can be removed as soon as the options window is closed and then reopended the ticks are back. Then Win 10 to...
Agreed. One strange result after running AdwClnr v7 safe mode scan -- first time used search engine noticed it had been switched to duckduckgo -- figured it's a browser hijack of some sort so chgd search engine setting bk to google and removed duck from list.
I then searched for add ons and related software and found none. Ran v7 safe mode scan again next day. No unwanted objects found, but ag...
Unfortunately still not fixed here in Australia. Still finding many entries by Spyware Blaster. After I ran Adwcleaner 7 I checked with Spyware Blaster and it reported many items without protection. Then AdwCleaner wanted to remove them again. Previous Adwcleaner finds nothing.
Why hasnt it been fixed for us over here?
Hello,
The quarantine is in C:\AdwCleaner, but its format is different than how the v6 handled it, and the folders you mentionned above are related to the v6. It's not an issue, both can coexist.
It's possible that the detected elements have not been quarantined because they weren't considered as "dangerous" if being removed.

Ran v7. This time only found two elements -- same file "PUP.LEGACY.OPTIONAL". Computer restarted after I clicked clean/remove option. When I ran scan again, same two objects were found. If you can think of any options, please advise. If think running scans in safe mode w/networking is best option, I'll give that a shot.
Thanks again for all the help.
Could be that you are a victim of bundleware. Basically, alongside normal maybe even useful software, some providers bundle malicious or useless software just to increase downloads and such. Have you downloading anything from 3rd party providers and not official sources?. Regardless of the fact, Malwarebytes or ADWCleaner should have picked it up and removed it, it could be much more thorough. ...
