Re: AdwCleaner 6.041 not compatible with Avira Antivirus Pro 15.0.24.146

Hi,

I've just installed the new Avira Antivirus Pro v15.0.24.146 (virus definition 8.12.141.148)

It's detecting a bad thing: DR/Autoit.haroo into the 6.041 AdwCleaner file (consequently sent in quarantine).

Are you aware?

Re: Adwcleaner deleted legitimate programs!!!!!

Hi,

Now it will delete programs such as Auslogics disk defrag and Wise disk cleaner. THIS ARE 100% LEGITIMATE, CLEAN and useful programs.

AdwCleaner is part of MBAM-family and thus gets tougher on PUPs:

Re: Menaces persistantes apres nettoyage

Bonjour,

Parfait!

Il semblerait que ma version de Malwarebytes-Anti malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 soit devenu completement inefficace.

Malwarebytes 3 est sorti il y a quelques jours, vous pouvez utiliser votre licence existante de MBAM 1.75 avec cette nouvelle version.
