AdwCleaner doesn't install anything since it is a standalone software. If you haven't had any malware or there are no files that need to be quarantined/stored, there will be no reason to create a folder in C disk. Try doing a scan once. It should appear a...

Re: False Positives V7

ActiveX detection started after the new update. I am getting the same pop-ups. I can assure you it is not malware. ActiveX detections are usually guidelines for processes and services to follow. While they can be exploited, I doubt this is the case.

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

ActiveX detections are usual FP's. Try doing an additional scan with Malwarebytes to confirm that. But I am fairly certain that these should not be detected. According to the internet and research that I did, ActiveX sets guidelines for processes, it can be exploited to some degree, but Adwcleaner would have removed them if found.

Please:

  • Share a screenshot of any messages titled "[AdwCleaner] C++ Exception Caught" you see,

Thanks again for your help,

False Positives V7

Since V7 I've been getting false positives on all my machines - often ones reported by others.  I suspect they are down to using SypwareBlaster.  This is an old but quite safe program which puts kill bits in the registry to prevent undesireable stuff running.  I think it would be worth installing SpywareBlaster then "enabling all protection", then see what ADWCleaner makes of it.  Thanks.

Thank I returned and downloaded the "updated" version, which was the same, but this time said no to a newer version. It will not go beyond heuristics analysis. Here's the error message.
