Aklice Failed to Find Web Brower Adware

(NEWBIE/FIRST POST)

After using the latest version Rogue Killer Software V12.10.8 to scan for adware in my web browser and elsewhere on my computer. Immediately following an entire scan of my computer with Rogue Killer Software …. Adwclearner (for free by Malwarebytes) found the following adwares shown below still hiding within my Google Web Browser. So why didn't Rogue Killer Software find these; is Malwarebytes better than Rogue Killer in finding adware?

Hi acvegas,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.
These detections are custom search providers added by PUP and are not really malicious.

RogueKiller focus on detecting and removing active malware files, AdwCleaner is better in detecting leftovers.
Pricegrabber and AOL detections are false positives, by the way.

Regards.
