    Earth .... occasionally
    How do you access the quarantine ?

    I share your views ... it's a useful tool but not very user-friendly.

    @quietman Go to the Tools menu, and select Quarantine manager.

    Why does AdwCleaner still flag Tencent PC-Manager as threat?

    Tencent is a Microsoft partner and PC-Manger is offered as AV solution, by Microsoft.

    What's wrong with PC-Manger, beside it's from China?

    @Hiltihome Detection rates are decent, but it has issues with false positives. I don't know why AdwCleaner detects it.

    @roger_m :
    Do You have some examples for false positives?
    I don't run PC-Manager on one of my own machines, but installed it on several customers machines.
    Haven't had any negative feedback, no feedback at all, and no infected machines to service.

    @Hiltihome The false positives have not been for any system files, and if was I not downloading and installing a lot of software, I probably would not have got any.

    I can't give any specific examples, as I don't use PC Manager anymore. I do still install it on customers' computers.

    @roger_m : THX
    Seems like with all other AVs nowadays, alerts on brand new files, that are not widely spread.
    Windows SmartScreen also alerts, on brand new files...

    Better alerts, than infections.

    Once again:
    AdwCleaner does not auto-update/self-update,
    it just deletes itself and directs to the download page.
    Annoying behavior, compared to HMP and ZAM...
