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...

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

I do not reproduce this detections, is it possible to share the file "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\8pecxstudios\Cyberfox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\prefs.js" ? You can zip it and sent it by email if you prefer.

Thanks,

Re: Fausse détection

Bonjour,

Effectivement, excusez-nous pour le faux positif. Il sera corrigé rapidement, et d'ici là vous pouvez ignorer cette détection.

Merci,

Bonjour.

Je viens de passer Adwcleaner, qui aujourd'hui vient de me trouver un raccourci existant depuis 2013, infecté.

Celui ci faisant référence à ATIH (Acronis True Image Home)

Assurément une erreur ?

Keep getting autoit error

on AdwCleaner by ****

I keep getting an error that pops up near the end when I'm scanning. I've tried running it as an admin but the same thing keeps happening. I ran a debug report after reading some some other threads however I'm at a loss on what the problem could be.  The error says it's line 14856
