Addition to your protection, you can also add some form of Adblock to your security arsenal. uBlock does wonders blocking malicious pop-ups, and you will not get any scareware that might concern you in any way.

A quick bump up the post to get admins/mods here to confirm and double check my concerns. Also, the other thread hasn't been confirmed by admins/mods as well. We will see how it turns out, could be just another bug with Adwcleaner.
Thanks for that! The beta versioning was needed badly. As the users were not aware that it was updated and even when I recommended the software for some people it was hard to point out that it was in fact updated.
Thanks Bernard. Good point on adding to firewall if happens again. Was thinking same thing -- that it's not a real hijack or spyware. Glad to hear it from somebody with more IT proficiency. It only happens on one specific station on tunein, and I listen to a bunch so seems site specific.

Hello,
Windows10 Chrome -- month ago got a malware popup when on tunein radio. Along with the following popup, a voice came on and said "your pc is infected with Malware, do not ignore this, etc:
** Zeus Virus Detected - Your Computer Has Been Blocked **

Since V7 I've been getting false positives on all my machines - often ones reported by others. I suspect they are down to using SypwareBlaster. This is an old but quite safe program which puts kill bits in the registry to prevent undesireable stuff running. I think it would be worth installing SpywareBlaster then "enabling all protection", then see what ADWCleaner makes of it. Thanks.

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...
Well, thanks, but I confess to not getting on with Tweaking.com. using it ususally ends up with things more worse than they were before. But thanks for suggestion.
