Windows 10: Potentially unwanted app

Discus and support Potentially unwanted app in AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security to solve the problem; Recent scans are showing PUA:Win32/MyWebSearch loaded on to my PC on 15 June in file:...

  1. Potentially unwanted app


    Recent scans are showing PUA:Win32/MyWebSearch loaded on to my PC on 15 June in file: \Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy4\Users\User\Desktop\C\Users\Andy\AppData\LocalLow\HeadlineAlley_29\bar\Cache\1CBDAD6E.cab.


    I've run the Remove action in protection history several times, but get messages that this app is still there although blocked. Have gone into the AppData folder to try to delete it there, but it doesn't show up.


    Is there anything else I can do to get rid of this? Or is there a bug producing false "found" messages after the original app has been removed, please? I see that other users have had similar recent problems.

    :)

    Protection History Warning - Potentially unwanted app found

    This just popped up, potentially unwanted app found. Detected MiniTool_Partition_Wizard_Bundleinstaller?? Tried Remove, Quarantine - does not remove the Yellow Triangle. Anybody else seen this?? False positive?? Had 2 instances, blocked the first one.

    Protection History Warning - Potentially unwanted app found

    Not exactly a false positive, more a precaution as MiniTool bundle optional apps from their partners in their installer. See this thread, in particular post #2 from MiniToolSupport themselves.
