Registry Key info. What is this ?

Hi guys I have come across this registry key which AdwCleaner finds. This is not the first time it has found it.

I removed it with AdwCleaner in 2016 and today I scan and see it has appeared again, but what is it ??

Thanks!

Ironically enough, I when I chose "debug" and ran, then cleaned, it didn't freeze. Thank you.

The only thing that came up after the restart was a notepad file.

Re: Is it possible to tell if removed files (one folder, one registry item) were harmful

Hello,

This element was only used as a malicious search engine in your browser, not as a keylogger.

Best regards,

Is it possible to tell if removed files (one folder, one registry item) were harmful

Specifically is it possible to tell by what is in my quarantine whether the items found by adwcleaner were using is keystroke logging?  I'm trying to figure out if I need to go and change all of my passwords.

 

Removed items were:

Folder on desktop (I recognize the items inside this folder and they are all legit).

Registry key:   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\BHO.DLL

 

Thanks very much.

Re: adchoices

Hello,

Can you share AdwCleaner logfile? Usually from C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[Cxx].txt

 

Thanks,

Re: AdwCleaner keeps freezing my entire pc and not responding in general.

Hello,

Can you launch AdwCleaner, click on Tools > Options. In the "Mode" section, ensure "debug" is selected.

Then, do a scan and a clean. When the freeze occurs, reboot and share the logfile in C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_Debug.log.

Thanks!
