Re: Download and 3rd party providers

Hello,

Yes, as a remind the only valid link for AdwCleaner is the one on https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ which is this page: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

Any other page is not considered as legit.

Regarding the issue, it's not related to any installation process (AdwCleaner doesn't install anything), and it's fixed in the v7.0.1.0 betas that you can find...

Re: Download and 3rd party providers

Re: vers 7.0

Hello,

I feel like I'm repeating myself but:

  1. Sadly, fixing issues takes time. It also depends on the type and severity of these issues. Some are more difficult to fix than others.
  2. I'd like to remind you that we're speaking about the release of a major version (7.0.0.0). A major version often comes with big changes and it may bring unexpected issues.
  3. Finally, the lack of answer doesn't mean ...

Re: Potential false positives?

If they weren't detected as major threats or some form of issues you should be good to go. AdwCleaner should clean up any actually malicious software, but other than that, you don't need to worry. If you want, you can do a full thorough system scan just in case. Avast full scan.

Re: Potential false positives?

PUP is usually named a Potentially Unwanted Program. It doesn't always have to be malware or malicious software. If MMO's have their anti-cheat in form of "Pando", it might interact with files at the system level, which AdwCleaner could deem treating a very normal reaction. Keep in mind that different malware removal software targets malicious software different ways. While one anti-malware so...

PUP is a potentially unwanted program. Basically, something that comes with bundleware or through other sources. As fr33tux mentioned, you should just remove them and not worry about it much. In general, if you see something with WARE in scans, it is some form of malware.

Re: AdwCleaner not responding at post actions

Firstly, make sure you cleaned up your Adware fully, otherwise, the problem might still persist. Newest updated of AdwCleaner shouldn't have this issue. Try doing a full reinstall of the software and see if that helps!
