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...??
Also cannot download as Norton blocks and removes it. Here is copy of Norton details:
Filename: adwcleaner[1].exe
Threat name: Trojan.Gen.SMH
Full Path: c:\users\admin\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\content.ie5\0xz70k18\adwcleaner[1].exe

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 ??
False alarm:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\fhkmpddbiciimgibbkmimhfognpknmeo
It is absolutely legal extension of the store
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-as-mhtml/fhkmpddbiciimgibbkmimhfognpknmeo
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mail.Ru
In this folder, I have installed "Cloud Mail.ru", it need not be removed, it is completely legal and no it does not apply to advertising
https://cloud.mail.ru/
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Mail.Ru
And in that folder I have is a shortcut to the legal application "Cloud Mail.ru"

Bonjour, j'ai windows 8, et j'aimerais désinstaller istartsurf mais quand j'installe adwcleaner mon antivirus "Norton" me dit que cela est une menace et je ne peut donc pas le télécharger il le supprime automatiquement .. Pourriez-vous m'aider ?
Cannot install v3.303, Avast Antivirus don't let it trough. Any help..???
@cramnorg Le fichier téléchargé depuis ToolsLib est sain. Quel est le nom de votre antivirus?
La version 3.301 proposée, comporte un virus que mon logiciel de sécurité détecte en interdisant le téléchargement et ce quelque soit le site où je tente de le télécharger.
Virus : Trojan généric 11592248
Fichier : jlsGDksk.part
Bonjour,
C'est la première fois, avec cette nouvelle version 3.300, que mon antivirus le détecte en tant que Cheval de Troie, et le désinstalle systématiquement. Ca fait plusieurs mois que je l'utilise et je n'ai jamais rencontré ce problème auparavant. Dois-je faire confiance à AdwCleaner ou à Norton?
Dans le doute, pour l'instant, je ne l'utilise plus. Quel dommage! Si quelqu'un pouvait me rassurer?
Merci pour vos réponses.
