PUP is usually named a Potentially Unwanted Program. It doesn't always have to be malware or malicious software. If MMO's have their anti-cheat in form of "Pando", it might interact with files at the system level, which AdwCleaner could deem treating a very normal reaction. Keep in mind that different malware removal software targets malicious software different ways. While one anti-malware sof...

No malicious folders...PUP is a potentially unwanted program. Basically, something that comes with bundleware or through other sources. As fr33tux mentioned, you should just remove them and not worry about it much. In general, if you see something with WARE in scans, it is some form of malware.
Hello, firstly, thanks for this amazing tool
I can't see the Quarantine items (file(s)/folder(s)/registry etc..)
I see that message(every scan)

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:
***** [ Tasks ] *****
PUP.Adware.Heuristic, At1
PUP.Adware.Heuristic, At1
What exactly does this mean, and is this a real threat? (because the updated interface is too confusing for me). Thank you in advance.

Firstly, make sure you cleaned up your Adware fully, otherwise, the problem might still persist. Newest updated of AdwCleaner shouldn't have this issue. Try doing a full reinstall of the software and see if that helps!
