Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 XP SP3

Hello,

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

Torch browser very often came along with bundles and without user's agreement.

Nobody knows ?

I am investigating. It's strange some links in the official page redirects me to Reimage Repair.

The wiki article has not good past for this program.

I have decided to uninstall completely without your help.

Best Regards

I will communicate any incidence if negative.
