Thank you for this excellent software which removed the annoying 'trovi' infection of my browsers. I found your site from an article in Computreactive Issue 247.
Hi, as report from libeccio42 and Jerry, there's some problem with speed-dial. Also in Firefox with speed-dial addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/speed-dial/?src=ss).
After running ADW-Cleaner and reboot, the addons was deleted from Firefox. The string concerned is reported on this screenshot: http://i58.tinypic.com/fu0xt1.jpg
Thanks for attention
Excelent work, best tool ever against fk pups but u need add more detection against baidu, hao123, yac, psafe, McAfee Security Scan, fk speed tools and other junk from baidu that is spreading wildly.
can you exclude Program Data\Kaspersky Lab\SafeBrowser from the list of unwanted?
Otherwise: beautiful work; thank you a lot!
Help please - I run regularly AdwCleaner (most up to date) and I always find items flagged in Chrome - I click on the clean button and after rebooting I found the following:

I assume the Chrome items are delete. I run AdwCleaner again, and they seem to be gone. If I run again AwdCleaner a few hours later, the items are back. Where are they coming from? How can I clean them permanently? I do not have ask.com nor aol.com. Please, help.
Contact at pady5star@gmail.com - thanks
