hmmm,

the Problem is not present anymore if AdwareCleaner uses the Cloud DataBase (see the scanlog).

On the first Scan on Wednesday it used just the Local DataBase.

- The Question is: Why is AdwareCleaner not always using the Cloud? On Wednesday it did download some DataBase - and the download ist according to the scanlog "very old" -  but it did not use the cloud.

 

Update 12.04. : If I do a Scan, AdwareCleaner is downloading something but without using the cloud.

                          And there it is again: PUP.Optional.Legacy

Can you expand on that please?

Do you mean that sometimes - although your computer has a working network connection - AdwCleaner keeps using the bundled definitions?

Yes, this is what it seems like, when i look into the log´s.

And AdwCleaner always says "downloading database".

The network connection is alway´s the same.

That's weird. Could you enable the debug mode and run AdwCleaner again? Then when you see the database behavior happening again please send me the entire C:\AdwCleaner folder.

Thank you very much!

I've been working on a fix for the past few days, I hope to be done sometimes later this week. I'll keep in touch.

[jboursier]

Hello,

I've deployed my fix yesterday, and it is now available for all users. It improved various things, but also should fix the issue you reported.

If you still encounter the same weird behavior and lines in the debug log, can you let me know?

Thanks,

Okay. If I encounter any problems I will let you know.

Downloading the database seems to be a little faster than before - AdwCleaner´s reaction if there is nothing to download feels far more smoth.

Thank´s for fixing it.

Awesome! Thank you!

Hi jboursier,

when I look at the scan log´s AdwCleaner is using the cloud.

In the Debug log there is still a warning:

Is this ok?

[jboursier]

Hello,

Yes, this is an unrelated warning which doesn't indicate a problem, simply that there is no content to be used at this time. We're moving this debug line to INFO with a more explicit message in a future release.
