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...??

Bonsoir,
à toutes fins utiles, Norton antivirus efface AdwCleaner v3.308 sans autre forme de procès, il peut être utile de prévenir Norton de ce faux positif... cordialement. M.L.

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 ??
