I created new firefox profile using Profile Manager, then I copied all files fromt the old profile to the new one. AdwCleaner did not detect any suspicious files in that new profile folder, so I guess I'm good?

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,

Hello,

It's part of QuickStart, an adware. You can clean it.

Best regards,

Hello,

Yeah, I thought you were speaking of something else than UCGuard.

We are working on to improve this part, some news soon.

You're right, nice catch! But that really is my main firefox profile. Did malware hacked its name, or what?

I searech for this profile ID and found in int he following places:

c:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41a66e7e5ee1

c:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41a66e7e5ee1

I am certain that when I told adwcleaner to delete this folder, my firefox pro...

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.

Hello,

Sorry I was unclear. You can deselect the element "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" from the "Folders", and do a clean.

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

Best regards,

You mean this?

Thse issuses are in the log every time I do a scan. Either AdwCleaner does not remove them, or I still have some residual malware which puts it back.
