For whatever reason, whenever I try to download AdwCleaner, I get the message from my browser "The signature of adwcleaner_7.0.0.0.exe is corrupt or invalid." The same thing also happens with other versions I try to download.

Hello,

Microsoft Edge is the web browser I used to try to download AdwCleaner multiple times.

You sure you are downloading it from an official source?  https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ from here?
