Do not download!
Good Morning!
I'm trying to uninstall your program. I'm assuming it's a single use program, that is download it when you need it, then, delete it. I'm afraid I don't understand your above term "using the 'mode uninstall.'
I see Adware in my downloads file, but there's no uninstaller. It's not listed in "Programs & Features," so I can't uninstall from there.
I'm trying to get numerous SearchScopes entries OUT of my registry. While I successfully downloaded & ran Adware from Bleeping Computer this morning, when I tried to download from your site, Sonar blocked it. I don't know what Sonar is, so I figure I'd better uninstall, clean out Adware, and do some reading before I try again.
Is the "mode uninstall" a new term/function? Can someone help me understand,please? Appreciativley...
The only virus here is the "behind the keyboard device". It's not a virus, don't believe people who even don't really realize what is a definition/signature. This saved me tons of work. Keep the good job.
I had a computer that was infected with a browser hijacking called gamersinfo.org but Adwcleaner didn't pick it up. Maybe you haven't added it to the database so would really appriciate if you did.
Spent hours trying to clean up unwanted browser. Found out abour ADW and cured in a few minutes.
THANK YOU!!

Bonjour et bonne année
Pour répondre à Fabrice, lorsque vous utilisez Internet Exploreur avec la page d'accueil Orange par exemple, si vous voulez naviguer avec Google, vous n'avez d'autre choix que d'installer Google toolbar. Elle est très sure.
Pour google Chrome, il te faut juste faire afficher ta barre des favoris, donc pas besoin de toolbar ;-)
@fr33tux: Thank you, I've tested, everything is alright! Expect a donation to ToolsLib soon enough. Thank you!
Bonjour,
Le faux positif concernant Adblock était dû à une détection annexe qui a été supprimée dans la dernière version de la base de données.
Cordialement,
Xplode.
Salut à vous,
J'ai actuellement constaté une chose étrange sur AdwCleaner 4.106:
il me détecte le dossier qui contient Adblock comme malveillant:
C:\Users\nom\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom
Suis-je le seul ?
