Adwcleaner false positive?

I've run adwcleaner multiple times and I keep getting a threat detected in HKLM/Software/Description.  After adwcleaner cleans and reboots and I rerun it, it keeps showing up the detection.  I have manually looked in the registry and cannot find that folder.  Hidden files/folder is set to show everything.  I have run rkill, tsskiller and mbam which do not find this.

how can I remove this since...

Re: i need help please!

Can you share the whole AdwCleaner logfile ?

Thanks,

Hi, you need to browse for some time and amountinjected number is changing. It was 229 and now is 231.

I guess it is counting how many times it used local content.

Thanks.

Hello,

Please manually reset your Chrome profile like in this picture:

I do not reproduce this detections, is it possible to share the file "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\8pecxstudios\Cyberfox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\prefs.js" ? You can zip it and sent it by email if you prefer.

Thanks,

Hello,

@gamezertruth: Thanks for the help, but it's preferable if the person who first took the topic keeps it until resolution, except if she/he needs help.

  • Download FRST
  • Right-click on the file -> "Execute as Administrator"
  • Click on the "Scan" button
  • The logfile is saved as FRST.txt , and additional informations are in Addition.txt.
