Adwcleaner is detecting speedbit video downloader as a malware. This makes it difficult in cleaning other malwares as some of the links might be related to speedbit video downloader. could you check this link and solve the problem (https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/54048-malwarebytes-anti-malware-version-146-erroneously-detects-speedbit-speedbit-video-downloader-as-adwareecobar/). Thank you

For those complaining about XP compatibility, I'm a XP Pro user and I can confirm AdwCleaner is fully compatible with XP. Like everybody though, I have had trouble with version 4, but it has been fixed. The latest 4.103, however, shows a little progress bar for loading the database right before opening the program. It also takes a little too long for the scan to run. Other than that, it works.

By the way, why aren't we getting prompted to install the latest version anymore?

And, I really miss when the program would update without having to download a new .exe file.

Hi, I love your program, I use it a lot when fixing peoples PC's. I have a suggestion to make: would it be possible for you to consider code signing? This will help greatly when running the tool with Anti-Virus software running, because otherwise it flags it as a virus as it cannot verify the developer.

Thanks.

I want to say Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You! I was having a terrible problem with Royal Coupon on my computer. I literally stopped using my computer because it was so slow. I had downloaded other programs to clean my computer. Hardly a dent in speeding my computer up. 2 hours ago I downloaded Adw Cleaner. I went for lunch. Came back....And Voila!! My computer works like it is NEW AGAIN! This is amazing. Thank you!!!!!! I will recommend you!

I had the supra savings program on my computer so I downloaded Adwcleaner. It removed this but left me with another problem. I run a small business out of my home and Adwcleaner marked all of my invoicing, billing and inventory software as a virus. I can no longer get into these important programs. How can I undo this?

@GlenStobbs, that is because NCH programs are adware. They always advertise their site and their other programs, which is most likely why this program detects it.

To some of the other users out there who think this software is a virus, listen up. Any piece of software that performs administrative tasks with or without the user knowledge is considered malware or a trojan. Unfortunately, this is also common for software with a good cause.

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...?
