False Positive v7?

Today I stumbled upon this detection whilst using Adwcleaner 7.0.1.0:

***** [ Registry ] *****

PUP.Optional.YahooChrome, [Key] - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Yahoo\SS

Afterwards I scanned with other virusscanners (Malwarebytes, MBAR, and Roguekiller) and none of them detected aforementioned registery key. Thus, it seems like a false positive generated by adwcleaner. 

Can someone confirm this?

Kind regard...

Bonjour,

Pouvez-vous partager le rapport de debug?

  1. Vous le trouverez ici : C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_Debug.log
  2. Vous pouvez ensuite le mettre en ligne sur le site suivant : https://up2sha.re - Un glissé/déposé vers la zone "Drop files or click to upload" devrait fonctionner.
  3. Puis partagez le lien généré dans votre prochaine réponse.

Merci.
