AdwCleaner removes Hotspot Shield. However, many users have messed up their Internet connections in the process. If you're reading this, please see what you can do to correct the issue. Thanks
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!
For People Who Think Everything Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware is really virus..
Wake up Pls..There are a lot of False Positives..This is one of them..If u Look on youtube for Adwcleaner There are a lot of videos teaching how to use it..Showing this specific website to download.
Bonjour,
Les 2 dernières versions suppriment l'historique de "Windows Update".....
Pour être certaine de ce que j’affirme, j'ai fait 2 fois un restaure système. Sur ma restauration il y a des dates avec des mises à jours et après avoir utiliser "AdwCleaner", il n'y a plus aucune dates disponibles. Le seul moyen de les consulter est de passer par le "Programmes et fonctionnalités".
Je suis avec Windows 7 pro 64....
Bonne journée

@Etalaz You can execute AdwCleaner from anywhere you want.
Hi,
is it necessary to run Adwcleaner from the Desktop?
can i execute it for instance from something like C:\Downloads?
Thanks!
@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!
