Does PrevX scan the Windows registry? I just ran a scan using Malwarebytes, and it found the following adware keys in my Registry: Registry Keys Infected: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\urlsearchhook.toolbarurlsearchhook (Adware.Ecobar) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\urlsearchhook.toolbarurlsearchhook.1 (Adware.Ecobar) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully. PrevX did not detect these. Not sure if it's supposed to.
The Malwarebytes scan was its "quick scan", but I'd have to do a full PrevX scan to find the same thing?
i am not sure but i saw same as you yesterday after testing so i did remove some leftovers with mbam too
malwarebytes has been known to detect useless FP's in the registry, especially in my experience anyway. send a scan log to prevx and let them look into it, id be very VERY surprised if this is a geniune threat.
nah, id doubt they are even that. ive had MBAM detect such threats before in registry on a freshly formatted install.
As said by PC__Gamer, Prevx doesn't look for garbage threats like these entries. They do not in any way affect system performance or contain any malware of their own. Prevx will look for any registry entry which points to malware, not just left over registry entries. We have a firm stance against FUD and detecting cookies or left over registry entries just results in a bombardment of FUD to the end user and no real added benefit to their security.
