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...
Thanks, I much appreciate the input... It would also be much appreciated if one of the administrators would chime in on this topic to verify that all the "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries are truly FP's, and if so will there be an update to correct this.
In the thread, "False Positives V7" by, SWBUser, his log file also contains a long list of "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries a...

I'm not sure the cause is clean_dns, mind you, I'm still stalling on reformatting or such, so much work. 'Start' after doing the following :
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
using Powershell improves things a bit, but doesn't let me use Restart or Shutdown or open News e...
Erreur de ma part ! Problème avec version 7010 mais sur un autre ordi.
Mon ordi principal ne détecte pas RFA avec Adwcleaner car j'avais chargé 7020 Beta et il a conservé son programme malgré que je sois revenu à 7010.
