False Positive v7?

Today I stumbled upon this detection whilst using Adwcleaner 7.0.1.0:

***** [ Registry ] *****

PUP.Optional.YahooChrome, [Key] - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Yahoo\SS

Afterwards I scanned with other virusscanners (Malwarebytes, MBAR, and Roguekiller) and none of them detected aforementioned registery key. Thus, it seems like a false positive generated by adwcleaner. 

Can someone confirm this?

Kind regard...

You are aware, I assume, that the buggy version is the BETA version, 7.0,2.0. The current  version 7.0.1.0 works perfectly well with Windows 10 64bit. Unless you are a BETA testor you should not be using TEST versions.

Future here! Hopefully, you will be able to understand this in English. Decided, to surf some older posts and add some information to what we now know. 2 Vendors currently have a decryptor for it as part of the "No More Ransom" project (Not related to this extension, this extension is just mocking).
