Does anyone know of another adware cleaner besides Adware 3.300

Greetings.

Does anyone know of any other adware cleaner other than ADWARE 3.300?

My Norton virus protection blocks it and says it is bad.

Where are you downloading it from? You should only download it from BleepingComputer.

If Norton marks it as dangerous, it's a a false positive.

Thank you.

A lot of virus programs will consider Adwcleaner as suspicious, which it isn't. I'm not sure why its being considered suspicious by most programs.

Thanks John.

I just finished doing and adware scan with ADWCleaner. I haven't cleaned anything yet. Here is the log: Is it safe to clean everything it has checked?!?

Yes, have it remove whatever it found.
