hi,


since a long time when i use AdwCleaner (https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/) it always say me that pdfforge is a malware in :

folder section : 
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\pdfforge

registry section : 
HKCU\Software\pdfforge
[x64] HKLM\SOFTWARE\pdfforge
HKU\S-1-5-21-1809650161-3470081474-3047720606-1124\Software\pdfforge

so i need to uncheck these to be sure that pdfforge still working

any idea why it’s detected as malware/spyware ?

regards
