You should try a second opinion scanner (any online scan, Emsisoft antimalware, Roguekiller, Hitman Pro, you name it). AdwCleaner is good but it performs erratically from time to time.
Also, I think you can report false positives HERE.

Good morning. Hadn't thought about reporting there. Not even sure these are "false positives". Anyway, thanks I'll take that approach and see what they say.

And I Paniced and did an entire clean install, but guess sorta had to since couldn't fix my missing Temporary internet files folder prior to the brighttag discovery with ADW Cleaner, so decided to just opt for clean install then

And here I thought I was the only one that panics.

Good day and Merry Christmas.

For the record, I have been running AdwCleaner 7.2.6.0 on both my home and work's pc and they came up clean.

A Merry Christmas to you and yours @eLPuSHeR . Hope you day's all that it should be.

Ive been getting these two similar Dom storage PUPS from Edge browser for about a year or so, They keep coming back! even after I disabled domstorage & I dont even use edge browser but when I do a scan with ADWcleaner these two pups reappear from time to time. Any one figure out a solution?
