@merida72 It's a false positive. AdwCleaner do not come with viruses.
@keepon You can uninstall AdwCleaner thanks to his uninstall button available from his interface (just launch AdwCleaner, you'll see it).
@tonypl6 Thank you!

Bonjour,
AdwCleaner a bien supprimé OfferBox de mon PC (merci beaucoup) mais n’a pas rétabli les paramètres de connexion à internet : OfferBox s'était mis en serveur proxy dans le navigateur Internet Explorer (donc aussi dans Firefox qui reprend les paramètres d'Internet Explorer) donc je n'avais plus de connexion à internet après avoir exécuté AdwCleaner.
AdwCleaner a aussi voulu supprimer ces 3 raccourcis (j'ai évidemment refusé) :
- C:\Users\PC\Desktop\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\CIC.lnk
Pour info, les 3 raccourcis CIC.lnk contiennent :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" 2421035398.mobile.cic.fr
Merci pour votre investissement dans ce formidable outil qu'est AdwCleaner, bonne continuation.
Since adwcleaner has been updated to 4.0+, I've been having trouble with getting disconnect via Log Me in Rescue in SMWN.
It scans and completes ok, but disconnects when the dialog box regarding "If you have been brought to use adwcleaner.....".
It doesn't happen on every PC, but more of them then not (75%) and it's really causing hiccups in my support. Can this be looked into.
Furthermore, are there any command line switches available for adwcleaner. I'd like to be able to launch it, have it scan, and reboot with no user interaction whatsover.
Let me know on either issue. Thanks!

Bonjour,
Est t'il prévu de pouvoir lancer AdwCleaner en ligne de commande ? Par exemple, "adwcleaner.exe /scan -remove" lancerait un scan des fichiers malveillants, puis les supprimeraient, tout cela en arrière plan avec peut être un log directement dans la console (par ex: "Scanning folders... Done!" etc.)
Merci,
-------------------------------
Are there any plans you can launch AdwCleaner in command line? For example, "adwcleaner.exe / scan -remove" will launch a scan of malicious files and then would remove all, in the background. With maybe a log directly into the console (eg "Scanning folders ... Done!" etc.)
Thanks a lot.
