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

Particular install features, Failure to detect exe, inability to identify application install folder. The program is crashing at 90% when scanning. One such example: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/652195/strange-pc-behavior-w-adwcleaner-7000exe/#entry4293511 

I do not have other forum links at hand, but when I have time to go through them, I will be sure to keep you updated.

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...

Re: Potential false positives?

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

Unfortunately still not fixed here in Australia. Still finding many entries by Spyware Blaster. After I ran Adwcleaner 7 I checked with Spyware Blaster and it reported many items without protection. Then AdwCleaner wanted to remove them again.  Previous Adwcleaner finds nothing.  

Why hasnt it been fixed for us over here?

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

John Ross -- thanks for the thought. May be something to what you're saying. The warning pops up on one site only -- tunein radio and only one program 94 wip sports talk. Doesn't happen when I listen to CNN, 97.5 Sports, and various music stations on tunein; only when I listen to 94wip so perpahs it's something that's being downloaded from that site only.

As for safe mode w/networking, was hop...

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

Hi guys I figured it out, it seems to be detecting immunization from SpywareBlaster and Spybot S&D

After removing what adwcleaner detected I was curious about my immunization and protection of my PC

it turns out adwcleaner is finding immunization entries used by spyware blaster and spyboy s&d.

I also jumped out of my seat seeing this much entries :) hope that clears this up

and hope a fix c...
