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I got a warning it was out of date, and was directed to a link for the current version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,

-Rick

Bonjour.
Puis je vous signaler un logiciel maintenant ancien (WebExpert que je juge bon par ailleurs) mais toujours affecté d'une Toolbar :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: PowerSearch Toolbar
Type: Adware

Description:
Shows advertisements and banners independently of user activity.

Registry Keys:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-507921405-1563985344-1801674531-1003\software\Visicom Media
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nota: La Toolbar peut être désinstallée si on en a conscience mais, la clé reste et est toujours infectante, ..... je crois.
Bien cordialement

Bonjour,
j'ai découvert votre logiciel il y a quelques jours, suite à l'infection de mon PC par un adware particulièrement énervant : GO SAVE, une cochonnerie qui envoie sur des pages non désirées et incruste ses propres pub dans les pages web que je consulte.
Après un premier scan et nettoyage il me semblait que tout était rentré dans l'ordre, et puis non, il revient, toujours et encore, et n'est plus détecté maintenant. Je ne comprends pas le mécanisme qui lui permet de refaire surface malgré une suppression que je croyais définitive (scan, nettoyage, ccleaner par dessus, autres tentatives avec malwarebytes, mais sans succès, effacé dans la foulée, tentative manuelle de le supprimer, rien n'y fait, il revient à chaque fois après quelques minutes de navigation) - est-ce que la future version 4, dont on parle tant dans les commentaires, pourra y remédier après sa re-publication ? y'a-t-il quelque chose de spécial à faire ? - pour info je suis sous seven et j'utilise chrome pour le web -

Thank you for this excellent software which removed the annoying 'trovi' infection of my browsers. I found your site from an article in Computreactive Issue 247.
