Ad Choices

user_avatar Boo

Sorry, if this is duplicated, newbie here and I did a search for Ad Choices in Chrome removal and didn't find a resolution...I downloaded AdWCleaner (latest download  here) but didn't remove Ad Choices from Chrome.......

 

Can anyone please offer some direction or help to remove Ad Choices?

Re: Ad Choices

So is Ad Choices a part of google or MS and nothing can really be done?

Re: Ad Choices

Hello,

Can you send me the logfile generated by AdwCleaner ? It should be in C:\AdwCleaner\.

Re: Ad Choices

Thanks.

Please, we'll use another tool to check what AdwCleaner missed :

  • Download ZHPDiag from Nicolas on his website
  • Then run it with administrator's rights (with right click)
  • Then upload the log file on up2share
  • Then post the link in your reply

Regards,

Re: Ad Choices

I did find something called Adblock Plus as seen at https://adblockplus.org/

BUT I had rather clean and get rid of them entirely instead of blocking them if that is possible? 

Re: Ad Choices

Hello,

Indeed, still some elements need to be removed.

  • Download ZHPFix here,
  • Copy the whole lines below, including "Script ZHPFix" :
Script ZHPFix:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Better Surf Plus
HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\wp-adinject-adk
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Media Player Packages
EmptyTemp
  • Right-click on the ZHPFix -> "Start as Administrator"
  • Click on "Import"
  • If the above content doesn't appear, do a right-click -> paste to make these lines appear.
  • Click on [Go] et send me the logfile.
