Xplode, thank you for a great tool. Recently I came across a malware auto-reinstaller that AdwCleaner v4.205 does not detect. I completely removed it using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program.
Log files (and any other data ) available upon request.
Here are the details:
AdwCleaner removed all malware, but it would reinstall after about 5 minutes. I do not know which was the undetected culprit, but here is a list of everything Malwarebytes removed:
PUP.Optional.MultiPlug.Gen, PUP.Optional.ModGoog, PUP.Optional.GigaClicks.A, PUP.Optional.SearchProtect, PUP.Optional.EduApp.A, PUP.Optional.GigaClicks.C, PUP.Optional.Infonaut.A, PUP.Optional.SuperClick.A, PUP.Optional.CrossRider.C, PUP.Optional.Coupoon.A, PUP.Optional.CinemaPlus.A, PUP.Optional.Shopperz.A,PUP.Optional.MBot.A,PUP.Optional.GamesDesktop.A,PUP.Optional.MultiPlug.A,PUP.Optional.CrossBrowse.C,PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller.A,PUP.Optional.SearchProtect.A,PUP.Optional.GlobalUpdate.A,PUP.Optional.Trovi.A,PUP.Optional.Appmgr.A,PUP.Optional.JellySplit.Gen.A,PUP.Optional.Tuto4PC.A,PUP.Optional.SmartWeb.A,PUP.Optional.CrossBrowse, PUP.Optional.CrossRider.A,PUP.Optional.Imali.SID.A,PUP.Optional.Bundle,PUP.Optional.CheckOffer, PUP.Optional.BrowseFox, PUP.Optional.OfferInstaller.C,PUP.Optional.PCOptimizerPro,PUP.Optional.WebBar.A,PUP.Optional.Tuto4PC.A,

I think I have found a False Positive on 3.304. Scan has flagged AppleChargerSrv in Services and the file AppleChargerSrv.exe
This file has been on my PC since January 2013 from Gigabyte from my Motherboard which was new then. Although I do not use Apple it is not activated in services either. I have scanned the file with malwarebytes and McAfee I have a feeling this is a False Positive. Adwcleaner has never flagged this file before until now
