Newest versions of AdwCleaner

Re: False Positive ?

Greetings,

Sorry for the late answer. The World of Warcraft detection will be fixed in the next release. And for FreeDownloadManager it seems we're keeping the detection - so not a FP.

Re: Unwanted ads

Hi there marierenae

Welcome to Tools Lib ~  Ad Blocking Plus or Ublock Orgin will do the trick.  You can get one of them from the Google Play store on your phone. 

Hope this helps.
