I always download this program from this site toolslib.net or www.Instalki.pl http://www.instalki.pl/programy/download/Windows/antyspyware/AdwCleaner.html.
Adwcleaner is great software!
Hola. Quiero añadir un feedback para Xplode, creador de AdwCleaner, y es que el análisis del programa detecta como adware la carpeta C:\Program Files\Skillbrains. Skillbrains es la carpeta donde se instala el gestor de capturas de pantalla 'Lightshot' (http://prntscr.com/)." target="_blank">http://prntscr.com/). Quisiera que para futuras revisiones de ADWcleaner esta carpeta sea excluida, ya que una vez esta utilidad fuer eliminada por error de mi sistema. Saludos.

Hi, I would like to give a feedback to Xplode, creator of ADWCleaner. When it analyzes my system, it detects the C:\Program Files\Skillbrains folder as adware, when it's not. That's the folder where Lightshot, a screen capture tool (http://prntscr.com), is installed, and it's not any adware o malicious software. I would like that folder to be excluded from adware detections on future ADWcleaner revisions. Greetings.

Superbe logiciel. Par contre la version que je possède actuellement 3.310 ne reconnait pas pc cleaner pro se trouvant là : C:\ProgramData\PC Cleaners et fichier pclunst.exe
@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.
thx its great this tool greets from the dutch it remove sweet from my pc great a big 10 to this program adwcleaner
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.
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...?
Also cannot download as Norton blocks and removes it. Here is copy of Norton details:

Please, I need your help. After scanning my system with your product, I detected the following (from the report)

########## EOF - C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[R99].txt - [775 octets] ##########
After the scan, Under Chrome found an Extension unknown.(see above)
Selected "Clean" - Program ran for a little then a message appeared:
Aut2Exe has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
The faulty chrome Extension was not removed. My system is now unstable and had several dumps (blue screen). Avast, ESET, Malwarebytes and other reported nothing, only AdwCleaner.
Again, my system is now unstable, AdwCleaner is detecting that Chrome Extension but does abort before removing it. Any idea of what the problem is.
Please, contact me at padi5star@gmail.com if you have a solution. I will be away from my computer for 10 days, but I can receive emails.
Thank you.
