Adwcleaner freezes when attempting to remove UCguard and UCguard.sys

I had several unwanted programs including adware and malware, and malwarebytes and adwcleaner removed most but UCguard and UCguard.sys still remain when scanning with adwcleaner. I had attempted to remove all unwanted programs in bulk and adwleaner would stop responding and I would have to restart my computer. I eventually narrowed the issue down to UCguard and now it is all that remains. I hav...

I've seen such programs bundled with other software itself. ...

Re: Is it save to remove these registry keys / this file

Greetings,

These entries are related to Reimage. We consider it as a PUP (potentially unwanted software).

WiseCleaner comes with PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) during installation process. We stand against such practices. This is why we decided to target it.

There are some nice and free alternatives to WiseCleaner:

Re: ADWcleaner wants to remove Reimage Repair
