AdwCleaner & Malwarebytes 3.0

[prombamuser]

I am currently running Malwarebytes 3.0 Premium. I also have AdwCleaner and I run it about once a month. I know that AdwCleaner is owned by Malwarebyles. Is AdwCleaner included in Malwarebyles 3.0? Is it redundant to use both? In other words, will AdwCleaner detect threats that Malwarebytes won't or missed?

Hello @prombamuser:

No - AdwCleaner has not presently been rolled into MB3.  You seem to be running AdwCleaner at the same frequency as many other conscientious Windows users.

Unless and until a Malwarebytes staffer weighs in with contrary information, MB3 likely will stay as is for the immediate future.

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I will continue to use Malwarebytes 3.0 and Adwcleaner for the time-being. I also use HitmanPro and Zemana Portable once a month.
