Package Aware

[Kins44]

Ran Adwcleaner, it detected a folder named package aware as an infection. It's clearly not.

When you install driver software it usually leaves behind that folder. This is a false positive. 

The folder will be in C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local

Is there a false positive section that I missed?. Maybe I could have a moderator move this to the false positive section?

Hello,

Sorry, I missed your post.

Can you share AdwCleaner logfile showing this FP?

Thanks,

Yes it is false positive. And it last forever, never been removed from Adwcleaner even tho people reported it many times. And to staff memebers. There is no need to share log files, you can recreate this false positive alert by creating file folder \AppData\Local\PackageAware

 

Edit: I did it for you, here you go - log file.
