Couldn't remember password..so I made a new account.
@cocochepeau I emailed VIPRE about 2 days ago, and yes they confirmed: IT IS A FALSE POSITIVE. They said to make sure your software has the newest VIPRE definitions to the latest version (36814 or higher) and scan the file again...it found no threats to Adwcleaner.
So, it is safe to use!
@benlec C'est prévu, mais pas pour tout de suite.
@Etalaz You can execute AdwCleaner from anywhere you want.
@merida72 It's a false positive. AdwCleaner do not come with viruses.
@keepon You can uninstall AdwCleaner thanks to his uninstall button available from his interface (just launch AdwCleaner, you'll see it).
@tonypl6 Thank you!

to solve the bug because maybe in the future should be helpful again

@hugharts Hello, QuickDiag's developer haven't created an english translation yet I suppose.
@cocochepeau Merci de votre réponse. J'ai bien vérifié les paramètres de mon firewall. Tout est OK. La vérification des mises à jour fonctionne avec la version 3 mais pas avec la version 4 de AdwCleaner.
@Me1 Bonjour, votre logiciel antivirus/firewall en est peut-être la raison, dans le cas où il pourrait empêcher AdwCleaner de se connecter à Internet afin de vérifier la disponibilité de mise à jour (ce n'est qu'une supposition).
@ben666 Merci pour votre retour, nous allons faire notre possible pour annuler ce blacklistage. En attendant, il suffit de cliquer sur le bouton "Ignorer" lorsque Chrome signale AdwCleaner comme étant un malware potentiel.

@Bob2014 AdwCleaner supports WinXP. :
