Re: AdwCleaner signature

Hello,

Microsoft Edge is the web browser I used to try to download AdwCleaner multiple times.

I do not actually know how to attach screenshots here, unfortunately.

I've also tried to download it in Google Chrome, but it says that "This app has been blocked for your protection."

Ok. Just follow these instructions and you should succeed: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1181420?hl=en

Re: adwcleaner, same 6 threats, all from chrome

Ah. It appears to be my son's account and an artifact of when he must have used my laptop.  So this may not be so easy to turn off.  Maybe he will know how.

Re: adwcleaner, same 6 threats, all from chrome

No, you need to manually disable it from your Google account, following the link above.

Re: adwcleaner, same 6 threats, all from chrome

Will synchronization be stopped when the chrome browser is not open?

Re: adwcleaner, same 6 threats, all from chrome

Hello,

If you confirm that uninstalling/reinstall Chrome stable doesn't fix the issue, it's likely that the Chrome synchronization must be stopped in order to fully clean the browser. Unfortunately, there's no automatic step that can be done for that..

Best regards,

Re: adwcleaner, same 6 threats, all from chrome

I used chrome canary for a while and the problem seemed to stop.  I am now trying the regular chrome again, and the problem is really back.  I have tried to follow google's instructions above but find them opaque and hard to understand.  All, I know is that the problem is back.  Maybe I should try canary again?
