Hi all, I had 14 PUP.Optional.BrowserHijack flags come up when I ran a Malwarebytes scan.
Doing my usual panic I went straight to google, did a AdwCleaner scan and it found a PUP.Optional.Legacy registry file HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID{8BF0126F-A5B7-4720-ABB2-2414A0AF5474}, so I quarantined that, ran it again and that was clear.

I then went back to malwarebytes and quarantined the original files it found which were:

Now I don't know if this is a false positive as I haven't downloaded anything since the last scan date before today, nor have I had any detections from the browserguard.

I have done a scan in both Malwarebytes and the AdwCleaner and they're bot showing clear, but I am paranoid....am I clear?

EDIT: I have been helped on the Malwarebytes Forums. Not infected but it was a true detection. Sorting it now, just waiting on the last confirmation. Thanks all!

Hi friends,
My k95 Platinum has finally started to bite the dust, LEDs are dying, typing is becoming less responsive and gaming is....difficult.
I think I have managed to grab the last (or one of the last) K70 MAX mechanical keyboards for...well probably at market price when it was new...

But I have to ask...why is Corsair so "afraid" of making full sized, proper mechanical keyboards? They all seem to be magnetic, or linear keys with little tactile options (if at all), or have I misread their marketing?

Is there a true replacement for the GOAT still in Corsair's ecosystem?
