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.
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.
The only virus here is the "behind the keyboard device". It's not a virus, don't believe people who even don't really realize what is a definition/signature. This saved me tons of work. Keep the good job.
I had a computer that was infected with a browser hijacking called gamersinfo.org but Adwcleaner didn't pick it up. Maybe you haven't added it to the database so would really appriciate if you did.
@IRON67. Ich weiss, Google-Cache ist #Neuland für dich, deshalb habe ich dir ein Scree.... ähm Bildschirmlichtbild gemacht: http://abload.de/img/changelogy7u94.png
Meinen Realnamen findest du seit 16 Jahren im gelben Board unter Kontakt. Ich weiss leider nicht, wie ich es für dich einfacher machen könnte. Abgesehen davon, brauchst du dich nicht registrieren, da du einen Account schon hast: http://www.trojaner-board.de/member.php?u=1000
Ich muss aber leider feststellen, dass du als gutefrage-User immer noch von den Fähigkeiten über dem Durchschnitt der Mitglieder dort liegst, also mach weiter so.
Auch dir ein frohes Fest, und...
.. Lesen bildet (sic!)
@"DaGuRu". Ja, Lesen bildet. Sehr schöner toter Link. Dass du da wohl mitmischst, ist mir schon klar, nur kann man dich ja nicht ohne Registrierung in dem gelben Board erreichen und einen Realnamen findet man auch nicht ohne größeren Aufwand. Die eigene Muttersprache sollte man beherrschen, wenn man so einen Job macht.
Frohes Fest.
my adw cleaner said it was out of date so i downloaded a newer version but problems occurred and my anti virus blocked it as it was seen as a threat to my computer i was really impressed with this tool now i am unable to use it hope you can give me some feedback as how i can remedy this problem so i may go on using your product

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.
finally dr MrXplode you have admitted the now yr tool is really NOT COMPATIBLE with win xp
BUT..for millions of people still using that s.o. what you are going to do..??..:
Bob2014 said a day ago:
If the Win XP is no more compatibile with the Adwcleaner 4, millions of people will stay sad. Bad, Bad, news Mr.Xplode...
