OK, I've done some testing and here are the results. I'm downloading it now along with Windows Slimmer to see what it's detecting, then I'm going to check on a few of Auslogics other programs like BoosSpeed, Registry Cleaner and Driver Updater (the most likely 3 to be classified as PUP by Malwarebytes and/or ADWCleaner) to see what paths they use and discover if my theory is correct about shared paths between them and Windows Slimmer. It's worth a shot if you haven't checked it yet. Second, if Windows Slimmer is being targeted deliberately that's one thing, but the contents of this discussion lead me to believe that this is not the case which means the most likely reason for those 4 detections is due to a collision in the signatures being used for targeting something else with the most likely culprit being one or both of the other programs I mentioned since they are all from the same vendor (it's a common practice for vendors to often use the same registry and folder paths for their software, especially for storing settings and data), so if that is the case then the Malwarebytes Researchers who manage ADWCleaner must create an exception in the defs for this program so that it isn't detected by mistake any longer, again, assuming that is the case and it isn't being targeted deliberately.īy the way, have you tried the recently released version of ADWCleaner, version 7.2.2? It was just published yesterday so it might actually already contain a fix for this. That's not how detection works for items classified as PUP. It’s the cleaner of choice for home users and technicians.Īnd none of that happens above with Windows Slimmerįirst, what was checked or unchecked is irrelevant. Malwarebytes AdwCleaner employs innovative technology engineered solely to detect and remove these unwanted hitchhikers.
The world’s most popular adware cleaner finds and removes unwanted programs and junkware so your online experience stays optimal and hassle-free.Ĭomputer running slow? Strange messages popping up? Browser homepage changed without your permission? This could be the work of adware (and its friends), a sneaky variant of malware that is hard to find, and harder to remove. If one choose to remove those 4 so call threats it will totally remove Windows Slimmer I like to know the harm Windows Slimmer program is doing exactly since I find none. As I mention already ADWCleaner is detecting Windows Slimmer program as well and this is after I have decline to install those other 2 programs.
