False positives?

Are these keys FPs? Could someone verify this? Thank you.

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

Hello,

As you can see in the logfile, the database is not up-to-date:

# Database: 07-16-2017.1

So it means that AdwCleaner was not able to retrieve the latest database version online. That's why fr33tux is asking about the proxy.

Re: AdwCleaner not responding at post actions

Firstly, make sure you cleaned up your Adware fully, otherwise, the problem might still persist. Newest updated of AdwCleaner shouldn't have this issue. Try doing a full reinstall of the software and see if that helps!

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

I have no proxies on either machine.

Just updated and ran scan - still same result as yesterday as below - 280 entires found!

The Chrome entries found are simply my personalisations for the Chrome start up page! Should definately not be selected or cleaned!

The database is not up-to-date.

Please try a new scan. These elements shouldn't be detected.

Regards.

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Glad you could solve the issue. And yeah, Malwarebytes is amazing, but I have found myself using ADWCleaner as well, there are something things one software doesn't clean as good as other, which is why it is always recommended to do multiple scans with multiple anti-malware solutions, just to be 100% sure.
