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!

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

I have no proxies on either machine.

Just updated and ran scan - still same result as yesterday as below - 280 entires found!

The Chrome entries found are simply my personalisations for the Chrome start up page! Should definately not be selected or cleaned!

Then Win 10 to...

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Thanks for the feedback. The first time browser reset to duck was after identifying and removing 2 unwanted objectes (PUP.LEGACY.OPTIONAL). The second time it happened, however, was after the next safe mode scan in which no unwanted objects were detected. 

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Hello,

It's not a browser hijack, it's the search-engine setting that AdwCleaner set after removing a malicious one. This will be back to google.com by default, with a dropdown in the Options UI to choose between seevral search engines.

Just to be sure, you say that Duckduckgo has been set even if you didn't get any Chrome or Firefox detections?

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Agreed. One strange result after running AdwClnr v7 safe mode scan -- first time used search engine noticed it had been switched to duckduckgo -- figured it's a browser hijack of some sort so chgd search engine setting bk to google and removed duck from list.

I then searched for add ons and related software and found none. Ran v7 safe mode scan again next day. No unwanted objects found, but ag...
