Adwcleaner is detecting the search engine ixquick as malware. This search engine is no malware.
@ThosThos,
I'm using XP, and AdwCleaner has never detected any adware or malware on my computer other than one or two orphan registry entries. How many did AdwCleaner detect on your Windows 7 computer? Oh yeah, 140.... There's a lot more to computing than having the very latest... ;)
Adwcleaner is detecting speedbit video downloader as a malware. This makes it difficult in cleaning other malwares as some of the links might be related to speedbit video downloader. could you check this link and solve the problem (https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/54048-malwarebytes-anti-malware-version-146-erroneously-detects-speedbit-speedbit-video-downloader-as-adwareecobar/). Thank you
Can I just say thanks for AdwCleaner. I had 140 ad-programs clogging my machine. Your software got rid of them fast! Also, a word to the XP users out there. It is a little strange to be using an operating system no longer supported by MS with utilities and security updates - and then complain that an Adware removal program won't work on it! Your computer is a disaster waiting to happen! Please upgrade to Win 7 at least - for your own sake.
Can you please include screenconnect in your ignored processes? Just recently adwcleaner started targeting screen connect for removal. This is one of the most popular remote connection utilities out there so you should be able to ignore it. Their site is screenconnect.com.
Also, I'm surprised so many people are using XP still. I can understand using it on an isolated production system, but for everyone else, I think it's time to move on.
For those complaining about XP compatibility, I'm a XP Pro user and I can confirm AdwCleaner is fully compatible with XP. Like everybody though, I have had trouble with version 4, but it has been fixed. The latest 4.103, however, shows a little progress bar for loading the database right before opening the program. It also takes a little too long for the scan to run. Other than that, it works.
By the way, why aren't we getting prompted to install the latest version anymore?
And, I really miss when the program would update without having to download a new .exe file.
I can't run the new adw cleaner version on my pc because I get this AutoIt Error message when opening the file: "Line 2057 (File "G:\adwcleaner_4.102.exe"): Error: Variable must be of type "Object". I use Vista premium 64 bits. Can somebody help? Thank you.
vers 4.101 STILL INCOMPATIBLE WITH XP
..THE BUG continues...still NOT FIXED YET
There is a file v3DDNetService.exe located in C:\Windows\System32. This file is used by SpeceDesk, see http://spacedesk.ph/ .
Could you please remove this fle from your list of malware?
