Not sure now that it's not a malware...

Newest versions of AdwCleaner

dans AdwCleaner par Mumio

Hi there. I have the 7.1.0.0 version of AdwCleaner. The new interface is very nice, I like it. What I'm not sure of is if the program updates itself with no action on my part or not.

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.

Hello alisondmurray

Welcome to ToolsLib Forum ~

I'm not quite sure what you are asking?  If I have to guess are to trying to say how to safely remove USB?  

To safely remove an USB please see this PC Magazine article https://www.pcworld.com/article/254868/safely_remove_usb_drives_just_by_unplugging_them.html

Hope this helps.

Warmest Regards.
