Re: False Positives

Version 7.2.3 didn't fix false positives (SpywareBlaster immunization), but now it also detects two new items :

Adware.StartPage                HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\zonemap\domains\qwertysearch123.biz Adware.StartPage                HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\zonemap\domains\quertysearch123.biz

Re: False Positives

The items listed under domains in the original post will have been given a value of 4 in the registry.  This figure means they are "blocked" (by SpywareBlaster or whatever) so should never be reported by ADWCleaner.  We have had this type of FP before so it seems ADWCleaner needs to be programmed to ignore those with that value.

Re: False Positives

I got the exact same results after downloading version 7.2.2, so it probably is a FP.

False Positives

No detection with version 7.2.1

All these reg keys are restricted sites in IE11 (SpywareBlaster protection).

False positive?

Greetings. I have these two detections:

PUP.DownloadProtect.Heuristic   HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\POLICIES\GOOGLE\Chrome

PUP.DownloadProtect.Heuristic   HKLM\SOFTWARE\POLICIES\GOOGLE\Chrome

Are they false positives or a real threat?

Thanks in advance.

Re: AdwCleaner 7.2.0 indicated version?

Remove botton. 1) pc1: no messages from Comodo > Remove botton works well; 2) pc2: messages from Comodo, I click on Allow as Safe application > Remove botton doesnt work, nothing happens.

Problem fully resolved by doing: Comodo > Applications> right click > "Unlock %temp% folder: uninstall.bat". ok!

PS: Comodo deleted your adwcleaner.exe when trying to copy it into a pendrive marking it as Ma...

Résultat du rapport ZHP cleaner

https://cjoint.com/c/HFwcqTjpWk1

Bonsoir,

Je vous envoie mon rapport de ZHP Cleaner. Je voudrais savoir le résultat et si tous les adwares trouvés ont été supprimés. C'est la première fois que j'utilise ce logiciel et je ne sais pas comment m'en servir. J'ai fait cette analyse parce que mon processeur tournait à fond et je ne trouvais pas ça normal.

J'ai oublié de vous dire que j'ai redémarr...

Re: Adwcleaner vs Malwarebytes

Referring to the FAQ linked above.

Are both AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes needed?

  • Yes!
  • AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes are designed to work well together
  • AdwCleaner specializes in adware and PUPs removal and does not offer real-time protection. It does a more thorough job of cleaning the left-over traces, OS configurations, and system modifications caused by malware.
  • Malwarebytes focuses more o...
