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

I have tried to download this several times with the same result as everyone else, Norton Internet Security is treating this programme as a trojan and deletes it. I have been on the NIS website forums and people there are quoting that the programme is safe to use and providing website links for download, both the BleepingComputer and Xplode links yet is still being blocked by NIS, any ideas if there is another programme available...?

Bonsoir,
à toutes fins utiles, Norton antivirus efface AdwCleaner v3.308 sans autre forme de procès, il peut être utile de prévenir Norton de ce faux positif... cordialement. M.L.

I have found that a reading of AdwCleaner[0] gives a better result than many other settings. The AdwCleaner *Quarantined* items are showing in other Antivirus scans at times. For this reason when helping others I ask them to Uninstall their version and install a Fresh copy after about 3 scans. Is this useless, or can this be a good idea ??

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!

Hello, v3.304 does not detect PriceChup. For PriceChup Add-On see http://www.pcrisk.de/ratgeber-zum-entfernen/7455-ads-by-price-chop Unfortunately, I found only this German website. But I think you will be able to understand this. Best regards, Juergen.
