Re: False Positives V7

ActiveX detection started after the new update. I am getting the same pop-ups. I can assure you it is not malware. ActiveX detections are usually guidelines for processes and services to follow. While they can be exploited, I doubt this is the case.

Malwarebytes will not open

I have a Dell laptop running Windows 7.  I picked up something (I suspect a Firefox update).  Now Malwarebytes will not open.  I uninstalled it, then downloaded and installed it again as well as Adwcleaner.  Neither one will open.  Malwarebytes shows in the tray but that is it.  All executables show no errors.  They just will not start.  All of this started this morning (8/3/2017).  I have noti...

Re: Error ADW 7.0.1.0

I guess, i found out, where the error came from.  After the scan has finished, following screen can be seen:

Nevertheless, the findings of the "PUP.Adware.Heuristic" in the folder "C:\ProgramData\Audyssee Labs" you cannot find in the protocol file!

Re: adwcleaner_7.0.0.0

I too have this same exact occurrence & have started a new thread on bleepingcomputer.com (BC) titled: "Strange PC behavior W/ adwcleaner_7.0.0.0.exe"

 

I'm anxious to see a solution!

 

Re: False positives?

It's true I haven't restarted the PC since this whole thing started. Plus while I have IE installed I don't actually use it, not even browser helper objects or anything like that. Though I don't know if that counts for anything.

Re: adwcleaner_7.0.0.0

I have downloaded the new version when I started it I had a window pop up to say that it was out of date. I clicked on the link and it downloaded the same version that I had before and I get the same problem Windows close the when it started to clean. Before with the older version I had no problem.

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

I did another scan being curious. It updated and the same thing happened again. Lots of immunized entries.

I had already uninstalled adwcleaner, cleared reg keys and left overs, got a fresh copy and updated.

I think the update is getting stuck maybe ? keeps reverting ? something corrupt with the update ? I'm not sure....

but I do know this has started happening since the new version of adwcl...

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Looks like safe with nw did the trick. Same two elements were identified, but this time the removal process included a step "cleaning chrome", which definitely wasn't in any of the other scans. When I restarted in regular mode and ran another scan with v7, there were "no unwanted objects found". Super psyched!!

Below are two log files -- first is the one generated after removal of two unwanted...
