If you end up downloading the fake program, it’ll look A LOT like the real AdwCleaner. The problem is the download link is for a fake AdwCleaner look-alike which is actually malware itself. If you click the “Ok” button you’ll receive another message recommending that you download AdwCleaner.

Well, now the scammers have turned the tables on AdwCleaner by creating a fake look-alike program that claims to be the real AdwCleaner, but is actually malware.ġ – You click a link in an email or on a malicious website and a malware program gets downloaded and installed on your PC without your knowledge.Ģ – At some point in the future a box pops up on the screen warning you that Adware has been detected on your system. This free utility will quickly scan for and remove virtually every type of unwanted toolbar, adware and browser hijacker that’s out there from your computer.Īs I explained in the post, AdwCleaner works great, and since it’s free I highly recommend that everyone download it and run it on occasion. A few months ago I wrote about an awesome anti-malware program called AdwCleaner.
