Then I purged the Auslogics remnants (files, folders, and registry keys) found by MBAM (17) and AdwCleaner (6). So I uninstalled Disk Defrag (and its evil twin program - AuslogicsDriverUpdater) via Control Panel. If not for WinPatrol and MBAM real-time protection, my home page, my search engine would have changed, and I'd probably have a worthless registry cleaner installed. It ignored my explicit instructions, and installed what it dangwell pleased. In short, this PUPpy hasn't changed one bit.

But I was informed that over 2,000 problems with my computer had been detected, (most of them registry errors, plus junk files wasting 94 MB of disk space) that - you guessed it - BoostSpeed could fix. I ran Disk Defrag, which ran without problems.

When I opened IE 11, my homepage was unchanged, but I got an alert that an unkown program was still trying to change it to Yahoo, which I yet again rejected. After installation completed, I was re-directed to giveaway-club dot- com, which promoted Auslogics free "BoostSpeed". MBAM Premium detected a dozen or so Auslogic files during the installation, which I allowed (for now). Despite rejecting Yahoo twice, WinPatrol kept throwing up alerts. Despite unchecking these options, it still tried to change my homepage to Yahoo (caught by WinPatrol), which I rejected.

You guys were wise not to update your versions of Disk Defrag. It's about time Malwarebytes got more aggressive. What remains a bit of a mystery is why only now does MBAM decide that Auslogic files are potentially unwanted? I'm not surprised that Malwarebytes detected Auslogics files. It also detected 4 registry keys related to Auslogics. Folder not deleted: C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Auslogics Folder not deleted: C:\ProgramData\Auslogics Folder not deleted: C:\Users\joseph\AppData\Roaming\Auslogics So I downloaded the latest version of AdwCleaner from Malwarebytes, and its scan also flagged some Auslogic folders: I don't know if the scanners at VT scan for PUPs, however.

So I uploaded both files to to VirusTotal, where 0/54 scanners detected anything amiss (including MBAM). I just couldn't trust any company that would bundle malware like Conduit.

These files (both reports) were created in September/2013, when I was using Auslogics Disk Defrag, which I subsequently decided to uninstall, after Auslogics bundled Search Protect by Conduit with a defrag upgrade (which I allowed to install in an unguarded moment - my bad!). , C:\Users\joseph\AppData\Roaming\Auslogics\Disk Defrag\Reports\Disk_Defrag_Report.xml, No Action By User, , , C:\Users\joseph\AppData\Roaming\Auslogics\Disk Defrag\Reports\Disk_Defrag_Report.html, No Action By User, , As it happens, I found this morning that MBAM Premium had detected 2 Auslogics files on a scheduled overnight scan on my Win 7, namely:
