Re: ADWcleaner flagged as Malware

on AdwCleaner by mik

Hello and thanks for your reply. And thanks for reporting this to Kaspersky too.

I have updated my AV and downloaded another ADWcleaner version 5.014 from your website. This has proven to be fine and works as it always does. I suppose Kaspersky is not infallable but I was suprised when this was flagged, as your product is a wonderful addition to any serious net user. It would be a great shame ...

Hello,

Thanks. The registry key seems locked but unused (it's harmless).

Can you export it :

  • Download RegToolExport
  • Paste the following content in the text field, and click on [Exporter]
  • Then, upload the .reg file on Up2Sha.re and share me the link.

I'd like a new ZHPDiag report to check (please refer to the instructions above).
