Richard_Nourse Posted September 18, 2017 ID:1164602 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have a Win 10 setup with the in-built Defender, and the free version of Avast AV - but I still manage to find the occasional PUP when I run Adwcleaner (preferably in Safe Mode) Question:- is it possible to set Adwcleaner to scan a USB memory stick for PUPs - or does it do that by default? Many thanks! richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff jboursier Posted September 18, 2017 Staff ID:1164835 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hello, I'm not aware of any PUPs which infect USB drives, so AdwCleaner doesn't scan them. If you have some data saying the opposite I'll be happy to change that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Nourse Posted September 20, 2017 Author ID:1165673 Share Posted September 20, 2017 thanks for that - just wanted to be clear on best option to check USB memory stick for nasties (after it has been connected to infected PC) I will advise regular AV app be used, such as Avast or AVG thanks again!
