@anonsubmitter

At least the hackers were stupid enough to not make it identical... Unfortunately, idiots will fall for it, as usual...

Things just got interesting: http://www.howtogeek.com/209654/scammers-are-using-a-fake-version-of-adwcleaner-to-trick-people/

"The ironic thing is that the real AdwCleaner doesn’t actually detect this fake version at this point."
^ You might want to fix that if it hasn't already been dealt with.

Anyone having issues with the latest version removing ScreenConnect Remote Access Software? (https://www.screenconnect.com/). Is there any way to whitelist this or can we add an permanent exclusion?
Use this program all the time with success, but now running into this issue.

Also, anyway to help support development? Donation?

love adwcleaner, but it doesn't recognize screenconnect as a legitimate program. it removed my ability to access the computer I was working on! can screenconnect be added to the allowed programs asap?

@Me1: I haven't used YTD Video Downloader in years, so I can't say anything about that. If I remember correctly Hotspot Shield had at least one banner that appeared when the user had the software running and disappeared when the user closed the software. What I meant is that it could be the bundleware / adware part of the installers and the banner ad in Hotspot Shield that is triggering the heuristic in AdwCleaner. I agree with you though, these softwares should be whitelisted.

@anonsubmitter, yes you are right. But, most free software downloaded on the Web come bundled up with useless crapware anyway. The YTD downloader box, if you don't want the app, can easily be unchecked while installing your main program. Unckeck all boxes for programs unrelated to the main program. If you need YTD or Hotspot Shield, they have a website where you can get them. No need to be bundled up to anything. They are already very popular. They both can be uninstalled very easily from Programs & Features, so they should not be removed by AdwCleaner. Removing Hotspot Shield this way messes up the Internet connection.

For those who don't usually pay attention while installing software, a program like Unchecky could be very useful. That way, you won't be flooding the malware removal forums all over the Web.

OK! Issue solved! I had knowingly installed the iSafe Key-logger on that computer. This is supposedly invisible to cleaners and registry. AdwCleaner removed the invisible iSafe folder but not its registry entries. That caused instability in the system, probably related to the specificity of the key-loggers. Restoring the iSafe folder from within the AdwCleaner Quarantine Manager solved the issue. No need to do anything in the registry. I hope this helps!

@Me1: I have read that YTD YouTube Downloader's installer is nowadays bundled with adware, so that might be the reason. If that's the case that detection would be weird since JDownloader has the same features + a lot of other features, its installer is bundled with adware as well (at least three different kinds) and it isn't falsely detected.
If I remember correctly Hotspot Shield was bundled with adware as well back when I used it years ago.
