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.

Hello,
excellent logiciel, très utile.
Une suggestion toutefois:
Ajouter la possibilité de créer des exceptions, car par exemple la barre d'outil IGraal est systématiquement supprimée par adwcleaner dans Firefox.
Pouvez vous nous faire cela?
Par avance merci.
Sincères salutations.
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.
