« on: October 01, 2017, 04:29 PM »
Now with last, and with the prior version of adwcleaner I obtain PUP.Optional.Legacy virus message .
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPCSolutions\Metadata Analyzer\MetadataAnalyzer.exe"

I don't detect with other free antiviruses.

Relax, it is not a virus alert, but an advert alert.

However, the program has not been updated for five hundred years and is not to be found on their "Download" -homepage (https://smartpctools.com/downloads/), so WHERE did you find it?

An interesting question.

I suppose in download.com
or perhaps in softonic.com

Let me see if the installer have any kind of identification....

Note : the exe installer is metadatasetupsoft.exe
I think was from softonic. Softonic have its own servers and give the possibility to download programs that don't exist anymore in the original download site.
