Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Could be that you are a victim of bundleware. Basically, alongside normal maybe even useful software, some providers bundle malicious or useless software just to increase downloads and such. Have you downloading anything from 3rd party providers and not official sources?. Regardless of the fact, Malwarebytes or ADWCleaner should have picked it up and removed it, it could be much more thorough. ...

Re: AdwCleaner signature

Hello,

Microsoft Edge is the web browser I used to try to download AdwCleaner multiple times.

I do not actually know how to attach screenshots here, unfortunately.

I've also tried to download it in Google Chrome, but it says that "This app has been blocked for your protection."

Sure can. Logfile below (I'm not familiar with MB3 analysis -- I google'd it, but not clear on how to execute on my computer -- if you can tell me how to run MB3, I'd be glad to):

Re: Adw Cleaner compatible Windows XP sp3

Hello,

The support for Windows XP has been dropped, following Microsoft decision to deprecate Windows Vista last April.

I encourage you to use MB3 (including the free version) which is still working on Windows XP.

Best regards,

AdwCleaner signature

For whatever reason, whenever I try to download AdwCleaner, I get the message from my browser "The signature of adwcleaner_7.0.0.0.exe is corrupt or invalid." The same thing also happens with other versions I try to download.

 

Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 XP SP3

Hello,

Yes, it required too much work to support 1.5% of users on deprecated OSes..

However according to some feedbacks it seems that it *may* run on Windows Vista. Feel free to test and share your results!

If you need an official support for those two OSes, please use MB3 instead.

Best regards,

AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 XP SP3

Latest version AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 will not run on XP SP3 "Not a valid Win32 application".

EDIT:  OK so I have just read on Malwarebytes forum that XP and Vista are no longer supported, fair enough, but you may want to drop XP and Vista from the "Compatible with" list on this page? https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/
