Adwcleaner vs Malwarebytes

Aftr installing a Printer Software Adwcleaner found an Adware.

Adware.FileTour           HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Installer

Malwarebytes says my System is clean ? Which Software can i trust ?

 

Unable to open AdwCleaner 7.1.1.

Hi,

running the 7.1.0 version, question "would you like to download update 7.1.1" pops up. Indeed it is possible to save the new version, but it is not possible to open 7.1.1. Hence the popup asking for installation of 7.1.1.appears every time when starting a scan. Would be grateful to receive an advice as to how 7.1.1. can be installed

Thank you and best regrds

Re: Newest adw version detects world of warcraft beta as a threat and deletes the whole thing.

edit: in case you deleted the folder via adwcleaner you have to restore it and then locate the folder so your battlenet knows where the files are. otherwise its gonna re download it all. just restored it now so yea now i just have to remember to not delete it again when using adwcleaner again x) also the new version fixed the false positive: greast and fast!

Re: AdwCleaner 7.1.1 false positive with Vulkan

Checked on my 3 other Nvidia GC PC's and didn't find the "C:\Windows\System32\Unknown" folder.

This folder has been installed on march.

Vulkan runtime libraries come from NVidia drivers. As they appear useless for me I uninstalled them on my 4 PC's.

Not sure now that it's not a malware...

Tu avais essayé de le désinstaller proprement (en supprimant ton profil Chrome) puis réinstaller ?

Oui, elle y était, je l'ai supprimée depuis la page "extensions" de google chrome, et j'ai fait un scanne avec adwcleaner,  au demarrage de l'ordi, il était encore revenue.

J'ai signalé via la page extensions de google chrome (en cochant que l'extension s'est installé sans mon accord,) tout en le ressuppriment, je reouvre le navigateur, après un redemarre, elle était toujours là.

Hi Fleks,

wondering why you literally just copied my exact text instead of reading the other thread? (i mean to copy it,you were in there clearly so lazy much?)   <------- Could you explain this sentence?  Thanks.

Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

just seen this one too you can to the surveys with edge as browser and just check under settings to delete cookies after every session -> no PUP's at all. The site just uses cookies to give you better ad's for you to potentialy make money - nothing to worry about. the moment you delete cookies,the pups are gone - check the option to do it baseline with each session closing and you dont even hav...

Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

small update to this matter (in case anyone else has this annoyance): these PUP's are just cookies used by the site so if you check the option to delete these after every session then you will not have any PUP's - started noticing this after swapping over to edge and i use the delete everything after each session anyhow so happy coincidence
