Re: False Positive v7?

Upon further investigation, this looks like malware's registry file that wasn't removed correctly, but the rest of the issue was

That seems rather unlikely, because the registery key was the only thing that was detected. To reiterate, before AdwCleaner's database update of August 25 my Adwcleaner scans (and other scans for that matter) were clean. In addition, other virusscanners weren't abl...

Interesting development. Thanks for the logs, as expected they are clean. Successful removal could indicate that Adwcleaner stopped the threat further or was a false positive. Honestly, everything related to Yahoo is a massive security hole for me, and I would avoid it as much as possible.

ActiveX is used for Microsoft services. I am fairly certain that this is a false positive. There have been a number of threads about the ActiveX issue, still waiting for confirmation from representatives.

I'm running adwcleaner version 7.0.1.0 and this is an issue even now and has been in the last few versions of adwcleaner.

It started with the version where you changed the programs interface.

Most of the time Adwcleaner finds five internet explorer active x registry entries but sometimes it can be over a hundred and the next time it's back to five again even though I have not done anything th...

You are aware, I assume, that the buggy version is the BETA version, 7.0,2.0. The current  version 7.0.1.0 works perfectly well with Windows 10 64bit. Unless you are a BETA testor you should not be using TEST versions.

ActiveX detection started after the new update. I am getting the same pop-ups. I can assure you it is not malware. ActiveX detections are usually guidelines for processes and services to follow. While they can be exploited, I doubt this is the case.

Re: Launchpage infection

Hopefully, you can understand English or google translate this. I know this is an old forum, but since it doesn't have a definitive answer, I'd like to share my experience and a solution. My friend had a similar couple of weeks ago. You are dealing with a redirect virus or some form of adware. Quite annoying really. I have used Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner to elevate the issue alongside these in...
