Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

Re: ADW cleaner for WinXP

Greetings,

AdwCleaner v7 no longer supports Windows XP. You can try to use the previous major version (v6) by following this link: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/files/851/

Please note that it's 10 months old and is no longer updated.

Also, feel free to try out Malwarebytes 3.0 (it is compatible with XP): https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/309-malwarebytes/...
