Memory: the long test told me all is ok: I stopped it after the 12th (!) p...

Archive Old Threats

I would like to request that old threads (1 year and older) be put in an Archive file that any member can access.  Since no one has responded to these older treads they should be archived.  Thanks.

Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.6.0 has stopped working

Great news!  Just downloaded and ran AC 7.100 successfully!!  (This is a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, Win 7, same that was consistently presenting the startup issue across the various releases of AC 7.0x0)  The panel has been redesigned and there is a variety of customization options available in Settings.  Looking forward to spending some time with it to more fully appreciate the new format and...

Re: PUP's from online studies - harmless or not?

Hello Fleks,

I see you have a PUP issue(s).  Did you delete the PUP's with Adware Cleaner after you ran the scan?  I don't know where you are located but did you know this study website is in Germany?

PUA. (Potentially Unwanted Application) or PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program)  These are very annoying at best in that they cause pop-us, redirect your browser home page, and other behavior that...
