AdwCleaner bad VirusTotal result 4/55
AdwCleaner has been recommended from several quarters.
I have downloaded "adwcleaner_3.308.exe" from the author ...
https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewd.../1-adwcleaner/
But scans by VirusTotal and Metascan return negative results

I find it so frustrating to find a recommendation (even on sevenforums.com) only to be confronted with added crapware.
What gets me going is AdwCleaner is full of the crap that it boasts about detecting and removing
OpenCandy is not alone as sneakware. Babylon(fs) does not like being uninstalled.
Any ideas where I might find a clean adware detector and removal tool. Malwarebytes does not view "OpenCandy" as malware.
Thank you
