As an experienced user i still sometimes accidentally install adware. This program makes uninstalling those very easier and faster than removing on your own. 5/5, will recommend and install on the computers of my relatives.
I have had a virus several times in the past month. AdwCleaner seems to fix it, but then it comes back a week or two later. Today it mutated worse than ever. It deleted all the old versions of AdwCleaner off my hard drive. When I came here to download the latest version, IE would not load the page, it just said Waiting, forever. Opera acted like it downloaded, but nothing happened. I clicked Didn't Work? Click Here, and the same thing would happen, countdown from five, and then nothing. This is a pretty smart virus to delete the old copies and not let you download the new one. Do you know about this virus? What must I do to keep it from coming back again?
I really love AdwCleaner, you have done a fantastic job. I have a question: i wan't to execute this program on a remote computer in my LAN, is there a way to run it for automatic scan and automatic clean?
Thanks.
Jantest> then run hitmanpro, followed by malwarebytes (installed using malwarebytes chamellion). That seems to be the perfect combo.
Jantest> After running ADWCLEANER, I always reset the browser settings back to defaults. In Chrome, it's at the very bottom of the Settings page ok. Hope that helps you out!
I Always use RKILL before i run ADWCleaner. Suddenly , since today, update (30-09-2014) it doesn't remove any spyware anymore. When the scan is finished, and i delete the files, i reboot. Then, when windows boots up, The annoying "scripting" ads are still there in Internet Explorer.
Hola. Quiero añadir un feedback para Xplode, creador de AdwCleaner, y es que el análisis del programa detecta como adware la carpeta C:\Program Files\Skillbrains. Skillbrains es la carpeta donde se instala el gestor de capturas de pantalla 'Lightshot' (http://prntscr.com/)." target="_blank">http://prntscr.com/). Quisiera que para futuras revisiones de ADWcleaner esta carpeta sea excluida, ya que una vez esta utilidad fuer eliminada por error de mi sistema. Saludos.

Hi, I would like to give a feedback to Xplode, creator of ADWCleaner. When it analyzes my system, it detects the C:\Program Files\Skillbrains folder as adware, when it's not. That's the folder where Lightshot, a screen capture tool (http://prntscr.com), is installed, and it's not any adware o malicious software. I would like that folder to be excluded from adware detections on future ADWcleaner revisions. Greetings.

How do I know if it is actually scanning? The gray bar at the top, below the header, does nothing.
@GlenStobbs, that is because NCH programs are adware. They always advertise their site and their other programs, which is most likely why this program detects it.
I have a BIG issue with this software! It removes my Accounting software (NCH Express Accounts & NCH Express Invoicing) even when I am not running the application (adwclean). As soon as I restore the software from the Quarantine Manager, it quarantines it again. I know my accounts software is okay, and without an exclude option, I risk losing this software and all backups of it (even from a USB, as the moment I write the Accounts software to USB, it removes it from there as well. I am NOT running adwclean when this happens. It does NOT show up in processes or services either. A folder exclude is needed as a matter of urgency.
