Hello Meadiocre,

In the main EtreCheck 4.1 user interface, there should be a "Remove" button under each of those items in the Adware section. Just click the button for each.


You didn't post your entire EtreCheck report. If those two Unsigned Files are the only two Unsigned Files you have, then they are fine. Don't remove them. But given all the bona-fide adware you do have, it seems logical that you should have some adware listed under Unsigned Files too. Usually the "Details" entry is pretty accurate. You can always eliminate the mystery by posting the entire EtreCheck report.
