Adwcleaner v7.0.8.0 uninstall does not work. Says it will delete quarantine files. When click YES the program exits but DOES NOT uninstall.

Re: Cannot uninstall adwcleaner

Greetings,

Do you mean C:\AdwCleaner is still present after running the "Uninstall" process?

Regards.

Re: Cannot uninstall adwcleaner

yes, It is still installed and will run..

Re: Cannot uninstall adwcleaner

Well, in that case you can uninstall it by manually removing the C:\AdwCleaner folder (and all its content).

And then, just remove the AdwCleaner executable.

That's it.

Re: Cannot uninstall adwcleaner

This still leaves windows thinking it is installed and eventually leads to trouble in add/remove programs and leftover registry entries. What is needed in an uninstall/cleanup program from Malwarebytes.

  

Re: Cannot uninstall adwcleaner

That’s not necessary. AdwCleaner does not  “install” anything more than what I listed above. Hence why you don’t ever need to go to add/remove programs on the Windows Control Panel in order to “uninstall” the software.

To be more precise, the AdwCleaner executable is portable. It just creates an extra folder at the following location C:\AdwCleaner.
