Re: False positives?

New version rolled in, and I rebooted as it was suggested to me... I still get these results.

Re: More false positives

False positives can happen from time to time, nothing new there. If the application is interacting at a system level and is not known, it will flag that it as a potential issue. AdwCleaner getting bought by Malwarebytes did nothing but good, so I am not sure. You can report the file or software that is causing the pop-up.

Re: More false positives

Hello, never experienced problems with ADWcleaner, what happend since you are Malwarebytes? New CEO? The beta version tells me: PUP.Optional.DriverBooster But i have bought this registered program and installed for years and is not a PUP. Maybe  for someone but nut for me. iTunes for me is a PUP but i need it for my bloody iPad.  

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

If it would be a false positive, you would be safe, I am not sure it is. Have you tried doing a full scan with your anti-virus software and Malwarebytes? Did they pop up a false positive as well? It is always best to check with multiple anti-malware software before jumping conclusions. 

Re: vers 7.0

These problems seems not solved in AdwCleaner v7.0.2.0 BETA2, yet...  :-(

Re: vers 7.0

@Bernard82 : now..only NOW the pop alert old vers BUG has been finally fixed..BUT..i ask you:

                      in events log are you able to -clean- the events displaied..??..or are you forced to go to the c\adwcleaner folder and

                      delete them -manually-..??

                      isn't or not the SAME BUG about the Quarantine\issue..??..the gui does not works at all....

Re: Malwarebytes will not open

After the posted logs, can you try launching the application in "Safe Mode" see if it works then? If it does, try to do a scan with both software.
