Suggestion: Add an "ignore AOL" option

user_avatar HaoleBoy

I use AdwCleaner on a lot of home computers, and they invariably are using AOL. AdwCleaner seems to think the AOL toolbar is malicious along with a bunch of registry entries pertaining to AOL. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think this is true. I'd like to request that you add an option to ignore AOL so that the install of AOL does not get corrupted by deleting parts of it.

 

Thank You!

Hello,

Can you share the whole logfile(s) showing these AOL entries ?

Sorry for the long delay. Had to wait for another customer who uses AOL. Here's a link to the log file.

Also, I noticed that there are a few entries for AVG Secure Search. While I'm not a big fan of AVG, I don't think of it as malicious.

Thanx!

Hello,

According to SystemLookUp, AVG Security Toolbar / Secure Search / Every toolbars related to AVG are classified as "Open to debate" as they simply pollute the browser. Same thing for AOL toolbar.

They are not malicious but they are not really needed and just slow the browser. The purpose of AdwCleaner is also to remove these kind of programs.

If you don't want to delete them, just uncheck the related elements.
