Adware and i don't know what to do

Hello,

Can you give a try to this version https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/files/1042/ ?

Thanks,

i opened this version but it gives me message that its outdated , is this normal? i scanned anyway and its clean, so im safe and its a false positive ?

Hello,

Yes, please ignore the update prompt.

So i'm safe and it was false positive ?

If it would be a false positive, you would be safe, I am not sure it is. Have you tried doing a full scan with your anti-virus software and Malwarebytes? Did they pop up a false positive as well? It is always best to check with multiple anti-malware software before jumping conclusions. 

yes i scanned, nothing has been detected

hey, there was someone in here who commented on this thread with a link to how to remove some adware, the link was a tutorial or something on a website. I clicked on it to check it out but my AV blocked it as it was malicious (i didn't download or clicked anything just my AV blocked it), did i just got infected or what ? (the comments got deleted by someone) can anybody answer me please ?

Hello,

Can you please paste the scan logfile from AdwCleaner?

Thanks.

Everything is fine here. Previous detections were indeed FPs.

Thank you so much for your help. just another thing, this guy who's commenting here and posted a malicious link, should i worry about that ?

Nothing to worry about that since your AV blocked the website.

His account has been banned.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay, Thank you very much sir.

Glad the issues have been sorted out. For future reference, I recommend installing some form of Adblock, as not only that prevents malicious ad pop-ups but also some malicious websites as well. Additionally, you can check any link before clicking it using Virus Total or Scanurl. Good luck!
