Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

Hello,

It seems that you have a proxy set up somewhere, do you confirm?

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

Unfortunately still not fixed here in Australia. Still finding many entries by Spyware Blaster. After I ran Adwcleaner 7 I checked with Spyware Blaster and it reported many items without protection. Then AdwCleaner wanted to remove them again.  Previous Adwcleaner finds nothing.  

Why hasnt it been fixed for us over here?

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,

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

After removing what adwcleaner detected I was curious about my immunization and protection of my PC

it turns out adwcleaner is finding immunization entries used by spyware blaster and spyboy s&d.

I also jumped out of my seat seeing this much entries :) hope that clears this up

and hope a fix c...

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,

Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 XP SP3

I guess it makes sense, since XP and Vista not supported officially by Microsoft, it would get exponentially more difficult to protect the platforms efficiently.

Re: After install Torch browser from the official page adwcleaner detects malware 18

Glad you solved the issue. Torch browser, unfortunately, is malware. It is what you would call Bundleware or PUP (Potentially unwanted program), usually bundled with other more used software as part to generate more file downloads and installs. In the future always select advanced or expert options when installing, usually, they are hidden after that one checkmark. Additionally, you can do regu...

Re: After install Torch browser from the official page adwcleaner detects malware 18

I completely eliminate Torch.

After reiniiating I have some sort of problems with several disconfiguration. I wait to charge the system and reiniate again. The second reiniation was almost normal.

I am preparing the third....

My problem is solved.
