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...??
Hi !
the latest vers 3.309 probably have a bug..cause it always found an issue in c docs and settings all user dati applicazioni windows genuine advantage...
i put the file in quarantine..then i delete it but with a new scan with adwcleaner the file is always there...
with the previous vers of yr tool this did not happene at all...

Hello, my adwCleaner is showing Error Line 3281 "Error: Array variable has incorrect of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded." This message appears every time when I examine the system. Already uninstalled and installed it several times and it does not.
Does not detect pricechopper which is a Google Extension that I never added and keeps re-installing after deleted. Would appreciate a fix to detect from Browser. Thank you.
I think I have found a False Positive on 3.304. Scan has flagged AppleChargerSrv in Services and the file AppleChargerSrv.exe
This file has been on my PC since January 2013 from Gigabyte from my Motherboard which was new then. Although I do not use Apple it is not activated in services either. I have scanned the file with malwarebytes and McAfee I have a feeling this is a False Positive. Adwcleaner has never flagged this file before until now
Bonjour,
Je suis vivement intéressée par le suivi de ce logiciel car il m'arrive d'avoir des problèmes d'installation des mises à jour de Windows 7 ; dans ces cas-là je voudrais pouvoir utiliser l'option de création d'un rapport à envoyer sur le forum d'aide.
Cependant, n'étant pas experte, et à défaut de tutoriel disponible, j'aurais besoin d'informations commplémentaires sur la rubrique "Actions" : pour chacune d'entre elles pouvez-vous m'indiquer ce qu'impliquerait la sélection de l'option ?
Bien cordialement,
EauDeRoche.
Please, I need your help. After scanning my system with your product, I detected the following (from the report)

After the scan, Under Chrome found an Extension unknown.(see above)
Selected "Clean" - Program ran for a little then a message appeared:
Aut2Exe has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
The faulty chrome Extension was not removed. My system is now unstable and had several dumps (blue screen). Avast, ESET, Malwarebytes and other reported nothing, only AdwCleaner.
Again, my system is now unstable, AdwCleaner is detecting that Chrome Extension but does abort before removing it. Any idea of what the problem is.
Please, contact me at padi5star@gmail.com if you have a solution. I will be away from my computer for 10 days, but I can receive emails.
Thank you.
Here is the error message that occurs during the broswer cleanup. It appears to be happening right before Firefox cleanup.
