AdwCleaner - campaign to keep infected from installing?

it looks like AdwCleaner is the victim of a campaign to ruin its reputation, because Sophos blocks it's download, and a bunch of commenters at different download sites say it itself installs adware and such. but, we still have it listed as part of the "do this first" FAQ for security clean up. just wanted to double check, is AdwCleaner still ok to use? Is the link in the FAQ broken or hijacked? Is Sophos bad or working off bad data? Thanks - it's been a while since one of my family members got hit with something (per my request they use FF and other prophylactics). Don't want to make an annoying situation worse. -- Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
