TempLost Posted July 15, 2018 ID:1256661 Share Posted July 15, 2018 AdwCleaner is now part of the Malwarebytes family of products. The latest version has a very similar GUI to Malwarebytes 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted July 15, 2018 ID:1256706 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yes, that's correct, and yes, they now have a dedicated page for it on Malwarebytes.com located here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerear21 Posted July 15, 2018 Author ID:1256742 Share Posted July 15, 2018 yes i know malwarebytes owns adwcleaner now but about a week or 2 ago the download link on malwarebytes adwcleaner took me to toolslib website to download it and now it looks like adwcleaner downloads directly from malwarebytes. Just wondering why for the change now after a year of them owning adwcleaner. Are they suspecting toolslib of being suspicious or something? I dont mind the change because im not a fan of going to a random website for downloads i prefer to stay on malwarebytes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted July 16, 2018 ID:1256794 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Nope, not at all. Toolslib is a valid resource and is used by many experts in the community for hosting their tools. Malwarebytes however is a company (and a pretty large one at this point) so I figure they thought that it might not look super professional to have a tool they now own hosted offsite rather than on their own page. It was likely something they planned to do for a while but wanted to give everyone time to become aware of the fact that the tool is now owned by Malwarebytes rather than immediately pulling it from its longtime primary host at Toolslib, but a year was long enough, especially with the UI changes they've made which clearly reflect the owner of the software now.

Staff jboursier Posted July 16, 2018 Staff ID:1256846 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Hello, AdwCleaner is now offered directly from the /adwcleaner/ webpage, and this doesn't explicitely redirect anymore to ToolsLib for simplicity purposes. To summarize, AdwCleaner is still available at the same address than before: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ but also from the product page itself: https://malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner Edited July 16, 2018 by fr33tux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
