Potential false positives?

Hi

I'm running the latest version of ADW cleaner and got this back as my report.

Are these keys FPs? Could someone verify this? Thank you.

Re: Can I remove these folders/keys safely with adware cleaner?

PUP is a potentially unwanted program. Basically, something that comes with bundleware or through other sources. As fr33tux mentioned, you should just remove them and not worry about it much. In general, if you see something with WARE in scans, it is some form of malware.

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

Hello,

As you can see in the logfile, the database is not up-to-date:

# Database: 07-16-2017.1

So it means that AdwCleaner was not able to retrieve the latest database version online. That's why fr33tux is asking about the proxy.

Re: AdwCleaner not responding at post actions

Firstly, make sure you cleaned up your Adware fully, otherwise, the problem might still persist. Newest updated of AdwCleaner shouldn't have this issue. Try doing a full reinstall of the software and see if that helps!
