Hello,
Thanks M-K-D-B, sorry for misunderstanding.

Hi all.
I googled before asking but never found anything relevant... So AdwCleaner found 1 threat, this is what is says:
Firefox pref Found: [E:\Profiles\Firefox\prefs.js] - "extensions.quick_start.sd.closeWindowWithLastTab_prev_state" - false
Anyone knows what this config option does and why is it dangerous?
Thanks.
Hello,
Sorry I was unclear. You can deselect the element "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" from the "Folders", and do a clean.

Merci. Pouvez faire ce qui suit ?
You mean this?
Thse issuses are in the log every time I do a scan. Either AdwCleaner does not remove them, or I still have some residual malware which puts it back.
