    one of the bullet points in the AdwCleaner portion of the malware removal says:
    • The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
    My user agent switcher for chrome 1.0.43 (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...mg?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) comes up as a false positive in this scan.

    I would have PMed chaslang but did not see an option to do so on his profile page.
