Thanks for the feedback. The first time browser reset to duck was after identifying and removing 2 unwanted objectes (PUP.LEGACY.OPTIONAL). The second time it happened, however, was after the next safe mode scan in which no unwanted objects were detected.
Hello,
It's not a browser hijack, it's the search-engine setting that AdwCleaner set after removing a malicious one. This will be back to google.com by default, with a dropdown in the Options UI to choose between seevral search engines.
Just to be sure, you say that Duckduckgo has been set even if you didn't get any Chrome or Firefox detections?
Agreed. One strange result after running AdwClnr v7 safe mode scan -- first time used search engine noticed it had been switched to duckduckgo -- figured it's a browser hijack of some sort so chgd search engine setting bk to google and removed duck from list.
I then searched for add ons and related software and found none. Ran v7 safe mode scan again next day. No unwanted objects found, but ag...

Hello,
It seems that you have a proxy set up somewhere, do you confirm?
I did another scan being curious. It updated and the same thing happened again. Lots of immunized entries.

Bonjour,
Pouvez-vous "whitelister" Teamviewer dans la dernière version d'Adwcleaner ?
A chaque fois que je lance un nettoyage avec Adwcleaner, il me coupe Teamviewer. C'est un peu embêtant.
Cela le fait sous win7, 8.1 et 10.
Merci d'avance.
