I Always use RKILL before i run ADWCleaner. Suddenly , since today, update (30-09-2014) it doesn't remove any spyware anymore. When the scan is finished, and i delete the files, i reboot. Then, when windows boots up, The annoying "scripting" ads are still there in Internet Explorer.
Today all of a sudden Adwcleaner 3.311 is blocked as Trojan by Windows defender and my 360 Internet Security.
What is this??????
Hola. Quiero añadir un feedback para Xplode, creador de AdwCleaner, y es que el análisis del programa detecta como adware la carpeta C:\Program Files\Skillbrains. Skillbrains es la carpeta donde se instala el gestor de capturas de pantalla 'Lightshot' (http://prntscr.com/)." target="_blank">http://prntscr.com/). Quisiera que para futuras revisiones de ADWcleaner esta carpeta sea excluida, ya que una vez esta utilidad fuer eliminada por error de mi sistema. Saludos.

Hi, I would like to give a feedback to Xplode, creator of ADWCleaner. When it analyzes my system, it detects the C:\Program Files\Skillbrains folder as adware, when it's not. That's the folder where Lightshot, a screen capture tool (http://prntscr.com), is installed, and it's not any adware o malicious software. I would like that folder to be excluded from adware detections on future ADWcleaner revisions. Greetings.

@GlenStobbs, that is because NCH programs are adware. They always advertise their site and their other programs, which is most likely why this program detects it.
I have a BIG issue with this software! It removes my Accounting software (NCH Express Accounts & NCH Express Invoicing) even when I am not running the application (adwclean). As soon as I restore the software from the Quarantine Manager, it quarantines it again. I know my accounts software is okay, and without an exclude option, I risk losing this software and all backups of it (even from a USB, as the moment I write the Accounts software to USB, it removes it from there as well. I am NOT running adwclean when this happens. It does NOT show up in processes or services either. A folder exclude is needed as a matter of urgency.
americanman80> We know Adwcleaner is an awesome program and we all use it to fight the good fight vs malware. However Symantec do not seem to see it that way and have decided that adwcleaner is a virus (false positive). I am hoping this is fixed soon as nothing kicks malware butt better than Adwcleaner.
the correct path is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage
the new 3.309 adwcleaner tells that there is a virus in it...why?
and why ,if it is true, is not possible to remove it...??
Hi !
the latest vers 3.309 probably have a bug..cause it always found an issue in c docs and settings all user dati applicazioni windows genuine advantage...
i put the file in quarantine..then i delete it but with a new scan with adwcleaner the file is always there...
