    Question about adwcleaner


    So i just finished using adwcleaner to clear out all the registry keys and what not, so my question is, is it safe to uninstall it? It says the quarantine will empty does that mean it will delete everything and uninstall adwcleaner, or should i keep adwcleaner on my computer? Also my avg popped up saying it was a virus before i cleaned out the adware and what not on adw was avg popping up because the file was a false positive ? I just hit the keep file because i know that adwcleaner is not a virus

    Get rid of Adwarecleaner and stop downloading Adware, get rid of AVG

    Use Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and CCleaner, thats it.

    Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Protect, Detect & Remove Malware From Your PC

    CCleaner - Download

    No, if you're done with it just delete it or click the uninstall button.

    Derek, why would you uninstall it. I get AdWare every week so I keep the program. Anything wrong with that ?

    No, you can keep it. Some people just don't want to after they are done with it.
