In my case, Doctor Web found two dangerous objects in the IOit Uninstaller program and suspicious changes in hosts file. It is proposed to quarantine objects from the program and disinfect the hosts file (delete all entries).
When checking on the official Dr.Web website, it turned out that the threats in the program are not malicious: according to the developers of the Dr.Web antivirus, system optimization applications are useless and sometimes harmful to operating system. The hosts file contains entries specially added there by the program, which in turn blocks the installation unwanted programs on computer.
Therefore, I selected the “Skip” action so that the anti-virus scanner would not delete or quarantine the objects found, since they are not harmful to my computer.
In the next window you will see the message: “All security threats have been successfully neutralized.” To complete successful virus treatment, you may need to restart your computer.
