Adwcleaner false positive?

I've run adwcleaner multiple times and I keep getting a threat detected in HKLM/Software/Description.  After adwcleaner cleans and reboots and I rerun it, it keeps showing up the detection.  I have manually looked in the registry and cannot find that folder.  Hidden files/folder is set to show everything.  I have run rkill, tsskiller and mbam which do not find this.

how can I remove this since...

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

I do not reproduce this detections, is it possible to share the file "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\8pecxstudios\Cyberfox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\prefs.js" ? You can zip it and sent it by email if you prefer.

Thanks,
