AdwCleaner & suggests.go.mail.ru

AdwCleaner 7.1.1. I think this is a false alarm:

***** [ Firefox URLs ] *****
PUP.Optional.Legacy             suggests.go.mail.ru

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\omni.ja"

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

doublechecked too it goes likes this:

survey -> close browser -> run adwcleaner -> pups found -> dont repair -> open browser again AND delete cookies -> close browser -> run adw cleaner again -> no pups found - so 100% cookie related - probably just gathering personal data via those i would guess and making profit over those eventho they pay you for survey 

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

he copied exactly what i wrote in my thread so therefor he was there in the first place. so why didnt he just read the answers there instead of making a whole new thread out of it.

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

Hi Fleks,

I'm curious, do you have Adwcleaner? and do you run the program ?  PUP's are not cookies.  They are connected to other software/surveys that the user(s) downloads.

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
