Re: False Positive for GeekBuddy

Hello,

Can you provide the GeekBuddy detections from AdwCleaner ?

As rufus415 said, GeekBuddy is often bundled with other software and installed without any user consent. If you are a Product Manager, I hope that you'll take note of this remark and stop to distribute GeekBuddy using such a tendancious way.

Hi again,

This time it ran completely as I had always seen without showing any error :) Was there a bug in the program, or my laptop was causing it not to run properly?

 

Adwcleaner - FF extension false positives?

Howdy, I sent the author of bloody vikings your way a while back. I'm here today because two extensions I regularly use are being detected by adwcleaner.

1. "ClassicThemeRestorer" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/versions/ (I am using the developer/beta edition.)

2. "SavedPasswordEditor" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saved-password-editor/

Re: AdwCleaner is NOT a THREAT -- IT REMOVES THREATS.

I used the current version of AdwCleaner today without issue.  I run 3 layers of PAID active Anti-Virus protection:  Emsisoft Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes Pro, and Hitman Pro. 

In response to the false positive claim of AdwCleaner being a threat, I did a scan on the AdwCleaner.exe with all three AV programs.  AdwCleaner came back CLEAN.  Also, I have used it for years...and AdwCleaner catches the ...
