Hello Everyone.
 
I have this new computer for few months, and  I did go to CNET and downloaded Adwcleaner, but I got bunch of  pau or pua's
Inside my console it say it was Pua.Adware.Adpeak,,,     CUSTOMACTIONUNINSTALL

I immediately Uninstalled all the Junks and now when I scan with webroot the computer is safe.
First of all could you please provide me with a safe Link for Adwcleaner, and also do i need to go to the main console to see if ever-thing is ok or what what should i do now.
Also, I did installed the Revo but when I opened Revo, I could not see those junks so I had to uninstalled them with Add-Remove Program .
Please let me know what to do
Thank you very much.

Not to make this about other tools but it`s best to download Adwcleaner here: http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner and the latest version 3.205 and it updates often.

CNET has been installing adware as part of its installs for a while now, so I'd stay away from them.  Try this link:

I think you should be good at this point, if adwcleaner and Webroot scans are coming up clean.  You can alert people by putting the @ sign in front of their username like this @
