Potential false positives?

Hi

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

***** [ Files ] *****

No malicious files found.

***** [ DLL ] *****

No malicious DLLs found.

***** [ WMI ] *****

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.

What exactly does this mean, and is this a real threat?
