Macrium's Law #2:

Five minutes after completing weekly full system images on all machines, Macrium itself will want to update.

Thanks. Note to Firefox users, from release notes:

"Related, we temporarily removed the support for Firefox scanning and cleaning and we will introduce a fully new module to provide a much ...

:ditto: Similar scenario, same package. On mine, it gives me the Alienware OC, LED Controls, and BIOS, and Thermal Controller updates, among others. Otherwise, it's a real PITA to go dig them out.

Thanks, Cliff. Self-updated.....( at least asked to.....;))

Same here. Manually got it. Cliff's link takes you to 7.2.1 now....

Malwarebytes Acquires AdwCleaner - Page 13 - Windows 10 Forums

Meant new as in new and right up front, not buried. Almost like it's inviting the unaware to click! :)

Can't wait to see the posts when someone clicks all these options in the new Basic Repair, and cuts it lose! :shock: Could be helpful if they were having a problem, but just wide open to run...

The actual file you downloaded. The one in your Downloads folder. Right click, properties, lower right > Unblock > apply. Run that one. Looks like this in your downloads folder. Don't know where...

Unblock the .exe and see what UAC does.

Oh, and it is definitely signed. Maybe you got a bad DL.

Are trying to run that from some shortcut? The folder C:\ADwCleaner does not contain any executables, only logs and runtime data created the first time you run ADWCleaner. If you downloaded it to...

Reasonable chance this is a false positive. ADWcleaner 6.041 flagged and deleted this folder. SFC /SCANNOW put it right back. This is a clean install of 14986 just done.

Thank you, Count! My results were the same. Thanks for the research, now I will clean! :)

Thanks, Cliff. MB3 started doing a PUP on it, so I guess it follows ADW would, too. Seems some of the criteria for PUPs is 2nd and 3rd party "requests". Not all PUPs are PUPs, hence the word...

Cliff, I know this is your announcement thread, please pardon, but I just DL'd the new one and ran. Analyzed only because what it found (other than the normal aol and ask garbage), looked suspect to...
