Adwcleaner - FF extension false positives?

Howdy, I sent the author of bloody vikings your way a while back. I'm here today because two extensions I regularly use are being detected by adwcleaner.

1. "ClassicThemeRestorer" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/versions/ (I am using the developer/beta edition.)

2. "SavedPasswordEditor" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saved-password-editor/

Re: ADWCleaner deleted my important folder

Thank you for your email.

After restarting the computer, ADWCleaner is not there anymore so I had to reinstall the application. Then I tried Tools - Quanrantine Manager. I picked the file and clicked Restore but nothing happened. Does it mean it has been lost forever ?

I am freaking out now since it has been my work folder. Is there any other way to restore it ?

Thanks.

Greetings grynfindore,

you should be able to recover deleted files thanks to the Quarantine. Here is how to use it :

  • On the top menu, click on Tools > Quarantine manager;
  • Every deleted elements are moved to the quarantine. They can be restored if necessary. Click on Restore will restore checked elements.

Regards.

How do I know what I want to keep? For example, "HKCU\Software\One System Care sounds like something important. Do I need to delete these things if I want to clear my PC of malware?
