Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

Hi @cocochepeau,

If I may add, in addition to your link above, also include a link (for Newbies) to the forum guidelines/rules.

Just my opinion.  ????

Re: AdwCleaner deletes acestream but it reappears after Windows start-up

Hi, there sheilaanderson,

Please download the free version of Ccleaner here https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner to your pc and run the program analyze (applications, registry) and run cleaner.  When you delete the program(s) there are remnants left behind of that program.  Ccleaner deletes the remnants.  Reply back here how you made out.

By the way, which site did you download AceStream from?

Hi Fleks,

What does that tell you?  Don't complete any surveys.

Hope this helps.

Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

Hello Sakurasanta 86,

I had this same question yesterday from another user. I would delete the above through adw cleaner.  My advice do not take surveys.  Also look here at the same question https://toolslib.net/forum/viewthread/14338-pups-online-studies-harmless-or-not/

Hope this helps.

PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

Hello ive started using some online sites for studys the last days - file some stuff and get money/points etc BUT everytime i do a survey on "https://www.meinungsstudie.de/" it loads the sites on a url named "surveymyopinion" So if i run adwcleaner (current version) after doing that i get 4-8 PUP'S which all have entries verifying it is from "surveymyopinion" in some folders. Now the question: ...

Re: Newest adw version detects world of warcraft beta as a threat and deletes the whole thing.

I did ofc and it works again like it should - as stated above this is more of a "hey thats a clear false positive" in case your team wasnt aware :) so it gets fixed.  

Re: Newest adw version detects world of warcraft beta as a threat and deletes the whole thing.

Hello,

This is indeed a false positive. It'll be fixed in the next release.

Did you try to restore the deleted folder using the quarantine?

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?
