Is there an option to whitelist some processes or read a text file for processes not to kill? I really wish AdwCleaner wouldn't kill my VNC connection (winvnc.exe or really a *vnc.exe wildcard entry)
Hello !
I just want to say thank you for your job,
Adwcleaner is very usefull for me,
it's just awesome.
But there is just a thing that can could be better,
Can you do just a button for "Update" the software,
because always deleting the previous and download the new is boring...
Really want an upgrade like that !
Thank you for your job again !
(ps : it's just an advise, and sorry for my english i'm french )
Hello there,
While being in a rush, i was installing an app for powerpoint and i did not check for programs/pups comming with the installer. Indeed my laptop got infected 15 mins before a meeting(my first one outside england), i almost lost my promotion because of these malwares. But hopefully someone told me about adwcleaner, which is a great tool+ it's completly free. Really guys thank you so much :D.
Hi there, didn't come here in a while but anyway I will answer if some of you are interested. I used AutoIT to write this program, that's why it's sometimes triggering false positives in some antiviruses. As far as I know, this language really tries to use the core functions of Windows, and I think I read somewhere that it is using the same download function than Internet Explorer.
In a nutshell, that's just triggering an Internet Explorer download via the console.
Not getting a response from you about "clean files" hang-up issue previously mentioned.
Note that unchecking "clean files" allow the subsequent cleanup processes to work - but it is unrealistic to do this every time the programme is used as the file "threats" simply remain in place.
ADWCleaner seems a neat utility, but it has to be fully functional to be retained.
I really appreciate what you do with this program. It's one hell of a program. I do have a suggestion, though:
I've noticed that, the more up-to-date it is, the slower it becomes...it takes quite some time for it to scan a system, despite using SSDs.
Could you split the scanning process among 4+ cores of the CPU so that the scanning speed is improved? Could you give the software 4 instances with Affinity specifically set to a CPU core? I believe doing that may improve its scanning time, especially on SSDs (which are usually the ones holding the entire Windows installation -> and this last one is what most infection target (Users folder, Windows, Program Data...)
Thank you again for your work on this great tool! No wonder it has so many millions of downloads
Hi, I have an issue when i run "AdwCleaner 5.201". Whenever I run this particular version, my computer just hangs for few seconds, then starts functioning again. However, the AdwCleaner software doesn't start at all. I tried running the software several times. Same thing happens every time I try running the software. I downloaded twice again, after deleting the previous files, but to no avail. I also deleted all the temporary files, restarted the system, but was of no help.
I would like to know if the same thing or anything similar has happened to anyone and how was it resolved. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you.
I had downloaded a program and it seems that he was infected, I do not know what happened but this program did my internet stop picking tried everything to solve the problem but I could not , that's when I remembered that had AdwareCleaner , he resolved the problem with no difficulty , this is a really fantastic program and recommend it to anyone who install because I'm sure it will be safe .
Thank AdwareCleaner !
Unfortunately ADW cleaner was not able to find Buzzdock ads and High stairs ads. All other ads where removed perfectly! I really like this program.
Just wanted to say ADWCleaner is AWESOME and really works!!!. I was having issues with my pc, realized Optimizer Pro had been downloaded to my pc. Was getting a lot of unwanted pop ups and "your pc may be at risk pop up"
from the optimizer pro download. I tried ADWCleaner and within minutes after downloading and running ADWCleaner my pc was good as new! THANK YOU.
