Removing this fake version of AdwCleaner is luckily really easy. Removing the Fake AdwCleaner From Your PC Freudian slip? The ironic thing is that the real AdwCleaner doesn’t actually detect this fake version at this point. That’s what the government should be doing. Hopefully somebody at PayPal can suspend the account by Mardel Innovations, because they are clearly a bunch of scammers. You can download it from BleepingComputer. It’s important to note here that the real AdwCleaner is completely free.
And, of course, that fire sale ends tomorrow. 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.
