Things just got interesting: http://www.howtogeek.com/209654/scammers-are-using-a-fake-version-of-adwcleaner-to-trick-people/

"The ironic thing is that the real AdwCleaner doesn’t actually detect this fake version at this point."
^ You might want to fix that if it hasn't already been dealt with.

Thank you for this new release.

Unfortunately, some of the false positives I've listed a while back are still being flagged:

Simple Adblock (which is now Adblock Plus for IE)

ProgSense

Hola

Legitimate proxy server settings

Why have you removed the option to DisableAskProtection, DisableBrowsersProtection, DisableProxyProtection....?

Anyone having issues with the latest version removing ScreenConnect Remote Access Software? (https://www.screenconnect.com/). Is there any way to whitelist this or can we add an permanent exclusion?
Use this program all the time with success, but now running into this issue.

Also, anyway to help support development? Donation?

@cocochepeau: As I said in a previous comment, I haven't used Hotspot Shield in years. I was just discussing the experience I had with the software years ago with Me1.

love adwcleaner, but it doesn't recognize screenconnect as a legitimate program. it removed my ability to access the computer I was working on! can screenconnect be added to the allowed programs asap?

@anonsubmitter Hotspot Shield seems to be whitelisted since several days now. Can you confirm it?

@Me1: I haven't used YTD Video Downloader in years, so I can't say anything about that. If I remember correctly Hotspot Shield had at least one banner that appeared when the user had the software running and disappeared when the user closed the software. What I meant is that it could be the bundleware / adware part of the installers and the banner ad in Hotspot Shield that is triggering the heuristic in AdwCleaner. I agree with you though, these softwares should be whitelisted.

Super utilitaire, Xplode tu es un dieu ^^
Un petit faux positif ...à mon humble avis le dossier C:\Users\moi\AppData\Local\CrashRpt
Ce dossier, dans mon cas, contient juste un dossier de rapport du jeu Red orchestra2.

Is developer going to do something about false positives ?
Right now,this tool is dangerous and could leave users with broken apps and addons.
