alhazred Posted March 1, 2023 ID:1556903 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Greetings, Even though I have Malwarebytes Premium I run a monthly scan using Adwcleaner. However, I just checked the log and realised the cloud database is from last year. Can you determine why it might not be updating properly? I've attached the required files.

alhazred Posted March 5, 2023 Author ID:1557540 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Anyone? I should mention that I tried this on another PC and it also had an earlier Cloud database of 2022-10-10.1, so it might be something on your side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other PC I used Adwcleaner on doesn't have Kaspersky installed. I turned off cloud temporarily and ran a scan and the result was the same definition but local. Maybe the definitions on this application aren't updated as frequently. Edited March 6, 2023 by alhazred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adwcleaner is NOT a replacement for Malwarebytes. It is really designed to remove PUP's only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1cast Posted July 17, 2023 ID:1577989 Share Posted July 17, 2023 So it seems there is no problem with updating the Database. there is no newer version of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredvries Posted July 23, 2023 ID:1579047 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Database has now been updated. Still, I have the feeling that AdwCleaner has been all but forgotten by the people of Malwarebytes. That's bit of a shame, bacause it's a great tool. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted July 24, 2023 Root Admin ID:1579312 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Although we haven't published an updated AdwCleaner build recently, we are actively monitoring and updating the database.
