Yes, you'll have to run another quick scan, and then make sure it's ticked before clicking the remove detected button

You'll probably find it's no longer there as TFC clears out %temp%
I thought it best to just clear out the entire %temp% folder
It's a setup/installer file & the %temp% folder is hidden by default, so to execute it you'd have to go looking for it, unhiding files & folders & then running it yourself by clicking on it - highly unlikely.Files Detected: 1
C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Local\Temp\is1373634743\IWant This_ROW.exe (Adware.GamePlayLabs) -> No action taken.
It was likely bundled with something else you've downloaded.0 -
