![]() It does work, and exactly as expected, and I've made a new discovery that applies to AdwCleaner 8.2 AND (the unofficial) 8.3 I've got now: If you make a shortcut to the executable and edit the target line of the shortcut's Properties so that after the path to the executable that's already there you enter /path, running it from the shortcut will produce a CLI for a moment, and then go to the usual GUI. I would ordinarily wait for the program to announce an update, but his time I didn't. In any case, I just thought members would like to know that there was a new version available. I have trusted Major Geeks for so many years that when I happened to notice AdwCleaner 8.3 there, I assumed it was fine, and we all know where making assumptions leads. I consider myself well and truly chastised. The above is one of the reasons why you are always asked to only download from the highest integrity source (Malwarebytes contracted CDN edge servers): In the meantime, please be reasonably careful. Although the (self declared Final) copy at Major Geeks appears to have high integrity, their source (and the developer's repository copy) appear to have been downloaded innocently from the AdwCleaner developer's French-based repository and may contain at least one minor error in file versioning. V8.3.0.0 should be considered an unannounced BETA. Reference: Malwarebytes AdwCleaner Product LifecycleĪdditionally, no official corporate authored & published Malwarebytes AdwCleaner Release Notes exist beyond v8.2.0.0 As of the time/date of this post, and despite the lack of official attribution by the well meaning folk at Major Geeks (and others), Malwarebytes AdwCleaner v 8.2.0.0 is still the current RTM/gold/release version.
