Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

Hello,

Thanks M-K-D-B, sorry for misunderstanding.

@Simplex: Can you zip me the folder "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" and your profile: "4ui6vnjc.Simplex" ? I'll merge the two so that you'll find a clean profile, and you will be able to clean with AdwCleaner the malicious one.

Thanks,

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

This element seems to be a FP caused by a generic detection.  

Sorry, but I don't think so.

There are  - only at the german TB forum - at least 50 topics with this ff profilename "41A66E7E5EE1".

Usually, every ff profilename is almost unique, 41A66E7E5EE1 isn't unique.

It is related to Yondoo browser hijacker, I've seen multiple topics with this variant.

 

my suggestion:

Firefox pref Found - what does this option do and why is it considered malicious?

Hi all.

I googled before asking but never found anything relevant... So AdwCleaner found 1 threat, this is what is says:

Firefox pref Found:  [E:\Profiles\Firefox\prefs.js] - "extensions.quick_start.sd.closeWindowWithLastTab_prev_state" -  false

Anyone knows what this config option does and why is it dangerous?

Thanks.
