Re: Error - Database corrupted. Please uninstall adwCleaner and download it again.

Hello,

If this works, I think it's a network issue when downloading the database from Toolslib's server.

False Positives (Itunes and Networx)

Hello,

I'd like to report some false positives, the folders are Itunes stuff and the registry detections are assoicated with Networx, a legit bandwidth monitor
