Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

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.

Regards,

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.

You sure you are downloading it from an official source?  https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ from here? If yes, there is a slight possibility, that if you have some form of malware, it will prevent you from downloading any cleanup files. If you are able, do a scan with your current anti-virus and anti-malware software and see if that helps you solve the issue.

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. ...

Sure can. Logfile below (I'm not familiar with MB3 analysis -- I google'd it, but not clear on how to execute on my computer -- if you can tell me how to run MB3, I'd be glad to):
