Just was curious, I have seen some people having issues with downloads and installs when it comes to beta and normal versions. I wonder if they are downloading through some form of 3rd party provider? Or can the installs fail for some reason? Maybe system configuration?

Re: Download and 3rd party providers

Hello,

  • Do you have some more details about these "install failures"?
  • About 3rd party providers, do you have some names or links?

Thanks.

Re: Download and 3rd party providers

Not in particular. I was surfing other forums, Norton, Kaspersky and in general tech and cyber security forums, and a lot of people have installation issues. Even when downloading from your website and official sources. I have also read plenty of entries in this forum about people not being able to install the software properly

As for 3rd Party providers FileHippo??? uptodown? Cnet? Toms guide still has an old ADW version? 

All of the providers are known to tag a ton of bundleware and it appears that people are generally having trouble installing as mentioned.

Particular install features, Failure to detect exe, inability to identify application install folder. The program is crashing at 90% when scanning. One such example: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/652195/strange-pc-behavior-w-adwcleaner-7000exe/#entry4293511 

I do not have other forum links at hand, but when I have time to go through them, I will be sure to keep you updated.

By the way, I am not complaining. I just want to help out and find the underlying problems so I can help other people. I trust this software fully.

Hello,

Yes, as a remind the only valid link for AdwCleaner is the one on https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ which is this page: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

Any other page is not considered as legit.

Regarding the issue, it's not related to any installation process (AdwCleaner doesn't install anything), and it's fixed in the v7.0.1.0 betas that you can find on this page.

Best regards,
