Hello,

This detection is triggered by the fake firefox profile generic, which is a FP in your case.. Please uncheck it before cleaning.

Can you share the whole logfile too?

Thanks,

Hello, this is my fist post. AdwCleaner is an amazing tool which saved my skin multiple times, but now I have an issue.

This is from the log:

***** [ Folders ] *****

Folder Found:  C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1

When I don't uncheck it, then AdwCleaner removes my whole Firefox profile folder, so I lose all my seetings, browsing history, etc. I had to ...

Re: Folder deleted by mistake

hello cocochepeau,

Fortunately I did have a system image, and I restored everything. I have to say I was more than surprised that 18 items were flagged for deletion, I have MalwareBytes and AntiExploit Premium running, I am very picky when it...

Hello,

Yes, there is a quarantine in which is copied each removed element.
