I'm using Win 10 and I tried to scan with this new version of Adwcleaner but it keeps stopping working during web browser scan.
Possible solution on win xp sp3. Rename Adwcleaner_5.021.exe to Adwcleaner.exe. This may also work on versions 18 and up. It may have to do with Avira safe search interfering with it. Once I removed Avira safe search from registry (IE browser entries) using adwcleaner.exe it would then run adwcleaner_5.021.exe.
Hope this works for you. May be worth trying on other OS versions.
Great antispyware cleaning application!! Saved the day with the initial state of all browsers.. Great Work.
I only joined her to voice my opinion about AdwCleaner. I was sent to this site saying it will help remove bad extension i had in chrome browser. well let me tell you it found none but it went on to remove other perfectly good programs i had that had nothing to do with chrome. Some are some i used for years and can not download again. Thanks AdwCleaner.... for nothing! My recommendations to everyone.. DO NOT USE!! unless you want to lose more then you wanted too. Thank you.
I noticed AdwCleaner is detecting 'Adobe Flash Player Updater' under Scheduled Tasks. This is a legitimate Adobe Flash Updater task and should be fixed.
AdwCleaner v5.009
Database : 2015-09-27.1 [Server]
I haven't been able to update since 4.1 because it hangs up all three of my computers during cleaning, forcing me to do a hard shutdown. All my browsers have been updated; I'm using Windows 10; it's three different computers; yet the problem still continues with 5.009.

You have one tool user support is great. However, recently I saw many Adware has improved faster, harder to remove and seek more, we create multiple folders and files in the% Appdata% and programdata that Adwcleaner not removed thoroughly, besides lots other offer inserted directly to the browser, it's difficult to find the file, you have any plans for this problem yet?
Hopefully we will soon be put into the software to uninstall completely. Good luck.
@Xplode..This is probably one of the best programs that I have used and has helped me so much when dealing with all those annoying ads on multiple browsers. This program has always worked for me whether I am using Windows.7 or 8; however, I ran into an issues when I was dealing with some malware called "DNS Unlocker." Your program actually removed all the software that was related with "DNS Unlocker," but it was unable to revert the changes that it did. "DNS Unlocker" actually modified my TCP/IPv4 settings and set it from automatic to a custom IP address. It took me a while to figure out why I still had coupon pop ups when I was visiting different sites. I believe since the creator of "DNS Unlcoker" made it possible to change your settings, he might be redirecting traffic through his server which allows him to capture all ID and passwords for any user. Is there a way you might be able to implement a setting on your program to set the TCP/IPv4 settings, which are located under your Network adapter settings, back to default, which would be automatic? This would be so awesome!
This software just restarted my server at the end of the cleaning...
When prompted for restart a chancel button is needed.
