Never had issues that ADWCleaner would remove my TeamViewer. You sure it was that software? Maybe it was a fluke or a trojan pretending to be TeamViewer.

Me and the OP of this forum post had the same registry key result in a scan two days ago (though I use Windows 7 instead). I did another scan last night and it came out clean, does it mean the key was confirmed a FP and removed from the database?
