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...

Thank you again for your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

case closed!

Re: Can't delete UCGuard

okay then let’s move to a great anti-malware here https://www.zemana.com/Download

download it and make sure to run it as an admin it will found a lot of "UC browser files" then after the scan is done go to remove all found malware and after that ran adwcleaner and see if still found any of "UC adware " and let me know how it goes with you !

Re: Can't delete UCGuard

have you ran the Roguekliller in safe mode ? will . I need to run the Roguekliller once again to confirm it! you no need to ran adwcleaner again . it’s maybe a bug in adwcleaner (and I had the same problem as your)

also you could to ran adware cleaner in the safe mode and see if that is help or not

if non above is helped then I can to let you about other options !

Can't delete UCGuard

Hello, I saw a similar post of a guy that had his adwcleaner crashing whenever he tried to clean "UCGuard". I'm having the exact same problem. If someone could please guide me on how to remove it I would be very pleased. Sorry for the inconvenience. Here is a link to the infected parts: https://gyazo.com/8ef4445d8ab9eb2d5c64b111436a04e0
