Re: ADWcleaner wants to remove Reimage Repair

I don't know why, but every time I run ADWCleaner it wants to remove Reimage Repair.  I don't want this removed.

For number two this is the link: https://up2sha.re/file?f=AmUJmOagpQBY

And the antivirus doesn't seem to show notifications. I guess it's done! Thanks a lot!

If the notification appears I will notice you.
