Do not download!
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.
@rickghouse: I had the exact same error & avast blocked downloading this file from this site!
But having used this app in the past, I clicked on the "External Link" button (under the 'Download' button near top / right of this page, and tried downloading this from bleepingcomputer.com . . . success!! Hope this helps.
I downloaded Adwcleaner today from CNET
I got a warning it was out of date, and was directed to a link for the current version
I downloaded the new Adwcleaner and when I tried installing it,
"Avast Antivirus" gave me this warning:
https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1/get/aZ8f/
Infection: Win32:Malware-gen
The file was quarantined:
File Name: dwNRRc3h.exe.part
Virus Description: Win32:Malware-gen
Help!!!
Thanks,

@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.
Again I will ask and hope for an answer!
Cleaning malware with AdwCleaner in Windows 7 of a friend AdwCleaner didn't delete some tasks named "Rocket Updater" and "APSnotifier...". Everything else was deleted. What to do?
Thank you very much for an answer.
AdwCleaner is detecting some registry entries like i.e. "nico mak computing". Click on "clean" but the same entries keep returning over and over again. It does not delete these entries. Why?
EXCELENTE PROGRAMA!!!
Muy bueno contra esos Virus de publicidad xc
jaja !!!
Solamente que no me quita los recuadros de publicidad de "ads by safer-surf" pero bueno lo demás si xD!
