Re: Is this a false positive?

on AdwCleaner by Nec

Ports, applications, accessibility. Maybe your other device is used a lot less, you haven't messed with any ports or have any applications that require forwarding. Honestly, very weird issue, I would need to investigate the files. Can you scan your PC With Farbar MiniToolBox and Malwarebytes JRT? Post the logs that you get.

Re: False Positives V7

Just to add that SWB has just updated its data base and I've immunised the usual quantity.  Pleased to report that I ran AdwCleaner afterwards and there were no new reports.  Seems I've answered my last question.

Many thanks - pleased to see you've fixed it..

Re: False Positives V7

Yep, all fixed - thanks very much.  SpywareBlaster (SWB) updates its data base about every two weeks.  Can you tell me if the fix was such that it will no longer generally report SWBs preventative measures?  I fully accept that the odd false positive can happen but the quantity had become very high of late.

100% False Positive, but not good for me!

Hello reader, I using another new browser called Torch (torchbrowser.com) and I really hate, that ADWCleaner thing that Torch Browser is adware, can be that fixed? Its only normal browser based on Chromium, nothing bad in the browser, but the worst thing is, everytime I need to reinstall the browser after ran ADWCleaner, Thanks for help

Re: FPs ?

Fixed with version 7.0.2.1.

Re: False Positives V7

Since V7 I've been getting false positives on all my machines - often ones reported by others.  I suspect they are down to using SypwareBlaster.  This is an old but quite safe program which puts kill bits in the registry to prevent undesireable stuff running.  I think it would be worth installing SpywareBlaster then "enabling all protection", then see what ADWCleaner makes of it.  Thanks.

Re: problème au nettoyage adwcleaner_7.0.1.0

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

Même problème depuis environ une semaine avec la V7.0.1.0.

Merci de m'informer de sa résolution car j'aprécie grandement votre prog et le fait connaître autour de moi.

 

 

Version 7.0.2.0 beta stops when scanning

I tried all versions before using this beta version and all failed. The tool stops at the heuristic analysis. I get a pop up windows: AdwCleaner stopped working and windows will try to find a solution. I cannot get any error file, my only option is to stop the the program and that's it.

I use Windows 10 family, 64 bits.

Thanks if this can be fixed soon.
