@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.
I have a BIG issue with this software! It removes my Accounting software (NCH Express Accounts & NCH Express Invoicing) even when I am not running the application (adwclean). As soon as I restore the software from the Quarantine Manager, it quarantines it again. I know my accounts software is okay, and without an exclude option, I risk losing this software and all backups of it (even from a USB, as the moment I write the Accounts software to USB, it removes it from there as well. I am NOT running adwclean when this happens. It does NOT show up in processes or services either. A folder exclude is needed as a matter of urgency.

americanman80> We know Adwcleaner is an awesome program and we all use it to fight the good fight vs malware. However Symantec do not seem to see it that way and have decided that adwcleaner is a virus (false positive). I am hoping this is fixed soon as nothing kicks malware butt better than Adwcleaner.
Bonjour,
J'ai comet arcad et adportal.rapsio.com que je n'arrive pas à supprimer et qui reste actif même si j'ai scanner et nettoyer avec adwcleaner à 2 reprises.
Voici mon rapport. Pouvez-vous m'aidez s'il vous plait ?

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.
Xplode> hey great work! This seems to be the best utility at getting rid of some nasty pieces of malware. There is only one suggestion of a new threat that has hit some of my friends computers. The name of the software is called "PC Clean Maestro" by CompuClever. If there is any way in your next release, do you mind creating an adware removal routine for this piece of malware.
