This could be a worm (Network virus). And you might need to reflash your routers software. Check your network settings or network device and see if there are static IP's in place. Could you try disconnecting from the network, cleaning up your PC with Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner, restart PC and see if the issue persists? If it doesn't, try connecting to a different network and see if it happens ...
Thanks John! That is reassuring. Do you think you could check about the files for another computer of mine? I just want to be sure that the registry will be okay.

...It looks like your PC's DHCP IP's have been altered maliciously not too long ago. Which it would make sense why one PC detects it, and another doesn't. Default addresses can be hijacked and used for malicious intents. It is hard to say whether it is a false positive or not. You could always reset your PCs IP's and router to see if that solves the problem.

Bonjour à tous,
j'ai voulu essayer l'antimalware comodo CIS firewall, et je me retrouve avec GeekBuddy, Yahoo, et autres outils signés comodo, il occupe trop de mémoire (espace disque sur C:/ et ram)
et sur Baidu pc appstore j'ai voulu mettre à jour mes apps je me retrouve avec "GG":
d'oû la capture d'écran de cet adware écrit d'une langue étrangère avec une icone en soleil(pour moi c'...
Hello, today after updating adwcleaner to the new version, has detected some PUPs (I leave you the registry of the scan and the cleaning). After reboot, I ran adwcleaner again and the PUPs are still there.
I have researched a bit about these addresses, and it seems that they are the default addresses that the router from my internet company provides. Each time I clean them, when I reconnect to...
i used adwcleaner regularly. today, i went to run it and got the familiar "outdated version" notification. when i tried to run the new version, i got a popup saying "this app can't run on your PC". WTF??
In hopes of making my two computers as safe as can be I went ahead and removed the various files that AdwCleaner detected in a scan. However, because I had issues with my computer's hardrive becoming corrupt recently, I'm worried that some of the registry files that were deleted might in fact be necessary ones. Can someone please let me know if this is the case? I've posted the content of the l...
I am not sure, but I think there is a library of legacy Adwcleaner installations for older software if the new ones do not work. I just looked at compatibilities for the newest version, it appears that it should work with WinXP. What issues are you experiencing?
Also avoid the link above, not only it is Russian, but also illegitimate.
Edit: Interestingly enough it isn't. Not sure where I loo...
Yep, all fixed - thanks very much. SpywareBlaster (SWB) updates its data base about every two weeks. Can you tell me if the fix was such that it will no longer generally report SWBs preventative measures? I fully accept that the odd false positive can happen but the quantity had become very high of late.
Hello,
Is anyone from the AdwCleaner team able to comment about this yet?
Yes.
Please consider using the 7.0.2.1 - https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/
Thanks,
