Quick Links Fake AdwCleaner is Being Distributed Through Adware Infections Removing the Fake AdwCleaner From Your PC Scan Using MalwareBytes to Remove Other Spyware and Adware The latest trend in the awful Windows ecosystem is pretty ridiculous -- scammers have a fake version of the reputable AdwCleaner tool, which is a real tool for Windows experts. And this one pretends your computer is infected and tries to make you pay them to remove it. AdwCleaner is indeed a real freeware tool, with a good reputation for removing spyware and adware. It's not as well known as MalwareBytes because it's not all that user friendly, since it is meant for Windows experts rather than regular users. And the scammers have tried to mimic the interface, stealing the logo, and even ripping out the icon (badly) for their fake version. Fake AdwCleaner is Being Distributed Through Adware Infections The ironic thing is that this is getting on people's PCs that are already infected with adware or spyware of some type, which then keep popping up windows to a page that looks like this one... which tells you that adware is detected. Which is surprisingly accurate, although the fake app isn't going to remove that adware. Once you click through that dialog, it'll give you a scary message like this, telling you to download AdwCleaner. Since you've probably heard your geeky friends talking about AdwCleaner, a normal user might be tempted to download it. If you make the mistake of downloading and running this fake AdwCleaner, you'll be quickly presented with a window that looks an awful lot like the real thing. Once the fake one finishes scanning, it'll present you with a dialog saying your PC is completely infected with spyware and browser hijackers, and then it'll offer to remove it, as long as you pay $59.99 to them through Paypal. And, of course, that fire sale ends tomorrow. It's important to note here that the real AdwCleaner is completely free. You can download it from BleepingComputer. Hopefully somebody at PayPal can suspend the account by Mardel Innovations, because they are clearly a bunch of scammers. The ironic thing is that the real AdwCleaner doesn't actually detect this fake version at this point. Removing the Fake AdwCleaner From Your PC Removing this fake version of AdwCleaner is luckily really easy. Right-click on the icon in the Taskbar and click Close Window, making

False positive may occur with any product. You must make sure you check the detections before carelessly deciding to clean everything.You can see my results: **Shortcuts tab is empty - no detections found for this, therefore I shall not post a screenshot of it** **The Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome tabs are empty therefore I didn't feel the need to add a screenshot for them**As we can see from the above results (check the above spoiler), AdwCleaner found many items.
