I have tried to download this several times with the same result as everyone else, Norton Internet Security is treating this programme as a trojan and deletes it. I have been on the NIS website forums and people there are quoting that the programme is safe to use and providing website links for download, both the BleepingComputer and Xplode links yet is still being blocked by NIS, any ideas if there is another programme available...?
Also cannot download as Norton blocks and removes it. Here is copy of Norton details:

i too can conferm that Symantec is treating the lasted verson and modafication of adw as a Trojan Gen/Trojan Horse please veiw and remodavie your progame i enjoyed it ever snice i found it on bleepingcompture and there a great place and site to use so for the bettership of the internert please get on this ASAP.bye
Jinx that - now when i download your updated version my Norton says your product is dangerous with a Trojan and will not let me download it. Sooooooooo,......what's up Doc?????
When I try to download adw and asked to click run it does not show up on my surface.
I have found that a reading of AdwCleaner[0] gives a better result than many other settings. The AdwCleaner *Quarantined* items are showing in other Antivirus scans at times. For this reason when helping others I ask them to Uninstall their version and install a Fresh copy after about 3 scans. Is this useless, or can this be a good idea ??
False alarm:

It is absolutely legal extension of the store

In this folder, I have installed "Cloud Mail.ru", it need not be removed, it is completely legal and no it does not apply to advertising

And in that folder I have is a shortcut to the legal application "Cloud Mail.ru"

Merci beaucoup...uniquement la chose que m'a sauve! Vista (service pack 2.)..works great...more and more us Brits are having to look to France for opensource software that actually does what we need it to do. Thankyou again and keep me posted me when you have any more gismos that can sniff out the bad boys on my poor little machine.
Vive!
