I have a BIG issue with this software! It removes my Accounting software (NCH Express Accounts & NCH Express Invoicing) even when I am not running the application (adwclean). As soon as I restore the software from the Quarantine Manager, it quarantines it again. I know my accounts software is okay, and without an exclude option, I risk losing this software and all backups of it (even from a USB, as the moment I write the Accounts software to USB, it removes it from there as well. I am NOT running adwclean when this happens. It does NOT show up in processes or services either. A folder exclude is needed as a matter of urgency.
thx its great this tool greets from the dutch it remove sweet from my pc great a big 10 to this program adwcleaner
americanman80> We know Adwcleaner is an awesome program and we all use it to fight the good fight vs malware. However Symantec do not seem to see it that way and have decided that adwcleaner is a virus (false positive). I am hoping this is fixed soon as nothing kicks malware butt better than Adwcleaner.
Xplode> hey great work! This seems to be the best utility at getting rid of some nasty pieces of malware. There is only one suggestion of a new threat that has hit some of my friends computers. The name of the software is called "PC Clean Maestro" by CompuClever. If there is any way in your next release, do you mind creating an adware removal routine for this piece of malware. Check it out on www.shouldiremoveit.com
the correct path is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage
the new 3.309 adwcleaner tells that there is a virus in it...why?
and why ,if it is true, is not possible to remove it...??
I would like to confirm that Symantec Endpoint Protection is treating the latest version of Adwcleaner as Trojan.Gen.SMH
Jinx that - now when i download your updated version my Norton says your product is dangerous with a Trojan and will not let me download it. Sooooooooo,......what's up Doc?????
When I try to download adw and asked to click run it does not show up on my surface.
Merci beaucoup...uniquement la chose que m'a sauve! Vista (service pack 2.)..works great...more and more us Brits are having to look to France for opensource software that actually does what we need it to do. Thankyou again and keep me posted me when you have any more gismos that can sniff out the bad boys on my poor little machine.
Vive!
