Xplode, thank you for a great tool. Recently I came across a malware auto-reinstaller that AdwCleaner v4.205 does not detect. I completely removed it using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program.
Log files (and any other data ) available upon request.
Here are the details:
AdwCleaner removed all malware, but it would reinstall after about 5 minutes. I do not know which was the undetected culprit, but here is a list of everything Malwarebytes removed:
PUP.Optional.MultiPlug.Gen, PUP.Optional.ModGoog, PUP.Optional.GigaClicks.A, PUP.Optional.SearchProtect, PUP.Optional.EduApp.A, PUP.Optional.GigaClicks.C, PUP.Optional.Infonaut.A, PUP.Optional.SuperClick.A, PUP.Optional.CrossRider.C, PUP.Optional.Coupoon.A, PUP.Optional.CinemaPlus.A, PUP.Optional.Shopperz.A,PUP.Optional.MBot.A,PUP.Optional.GamesDesktop.A,PUP.Optional.MultiPlug.A,PUP.Optional.CrossBrowse.C,PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller.A,PUP.Optional.SearchProtect.A,PUP.Optional.GlobalUpdate.A,PUP.Optional.Trovi.A,PUP.Optional.Appmgr.A,PUP.Optional.JellySplit.Gen.A,PUP.Optional.Tuto4PC.A,PUP.Optional.SmartWeb.A,PUP.Optional.CrossBrowse, PUP.Optional.CrossRider.A,PUP.Optional.Imali.SID.A,PUP.Optional.Bundle,PUP.Optional.CheckOffer, PUP.Optional.BrowseFox, PUP.Optional.OfferInstaller.C,PUP.Optional.PCOptimizerPro,PUP.Optional.WebBar.A,PUP.Optional.Tuto4PC.A,
PUP.Optional.SuperClick.A,PUP.Optional.Conduit.A,PUP.Optional.ModGoog,PUP.Optional.Amonetize,PUP.Optional.SearchProtect,PUP.Optional.SndVol.A,PUP.Optional.ABEngine.A,PUP.Optional.Vitruvian.A,PUP.Optional.GlobalUpdate.A,PUP.Optional.Trovi.A.
I posted this before, but nothing has changed. I have not been able to use AdwCleaner since the update to 4.2. All three of my computers hang up on "cleaning web browsers" and must be shut down the hard way: by pushing the button. There is no other way to get the computer to shut down AdwCleaner. I used to be able to run it in a few minutes, and it got rid of everything my other scanners don't catch. Now I can't use it at all. Please fix!
This stupid adwcleaner removed ALL my chrome extensions, including all tabbed webpages. i did a system restore ,but its all gone. thanks a million dickheads from adwcleaner
Ever since I downloaded 4.2 a few weeks ago, this program has stopped working: All three of my computers get hung up somewhere in cleaning, usually on "cleaning web browsers." Then my computer becomes unresponsive and needs to be shut down. On two of my computers, I was able to use older versions, but they're months old.
Bonsoir,
Cette version 4.201 est en anglais.
J'ai viré le moteur de recherche Ixquick et Yahoo
Pour le reste, mêmes résultats et je ne sais pas si je peux supprimer
J'aimerais avoir votre avis et savoir éventuellement d'où pourrait venir ces services.

Bonjour,
Au moment du nettoyage, un message nous indique des bonne pratique à adopter, comme "Télécharger uniquement vos logiciels via des sites officiels".
J'ai développé cet été un site web, fournisseur de lien officiel : http://offurl.fr
Sur se site est référencé plus de 350 logiciels actuellements. Il vous suffit d'effectuer une recherche, et vous êtes automatiquement redirigé vers le site officiel pour le téléchargement. Cela vous garantis une source sûr !
C'est comme qui dirait un petit peut de pub que je fait, mais sachez que ça pourrais être utile pour beaucoup de personnes ! Si un logiciel que vous connaissez n'est pas dans la liste, n'hésitez pas à le "soumettre" !
Bonne soirée,
ZeTS

Dear Xplode!
I LOVE AdwCleaner it helps me a lot! I love that it first kills almost all processes in order to do a good job after. In older versions it terminated the TeamViewer applications process too but I noticed that now it trusts TV so it leavs it alone. This is great! As I understand there is a "whitelist" for apps that won't be terminated before a clean? If so I would like to propose a new addition to this list: Ammyy. Ammyy is just like TV: a legit remote admin app. It has a free version also I think a lot of people use it. Sometimes I user it instead of TV but now I can't run Adw through it because then I "close my self out" of the computer: without "local" user interaction I won't be able to get back in the computer after I click ADW Clean. Their website: http://www.ammyy.com/en/
What do you think? Thanks for your answer in advance and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thank you in the name of all the users of ADW!
Not responding when scanning web browsers.I have to kill process in Task Manager. I don't know if it is connected,
but recently I updated Avast. Windows 7 x86
@anonsubmitter, yes you are right. But, most free software downloaded on the Web come bundled up with useless crapware anyway. The YTD downloader box, if you don't want the app, can easily be unchecked while installing your main program. Unckeck all boxes for programs unrelated to the main program. If you need YTD or Hotspot Shield, they have a website where you can get them. No need to be bundled up to anything. They are already very popular. They both can be uninstalled very easily from Programs & Features, so they should not be removed by AdwCleaner. Removing Hotspot Shield this way messes up the Internet connection.
For those who don't usually pay attention while installing software, a program like Unchecky could be very useful. That way, you won't be flooding the malware removal forums all over the Web.

For People Who Think Everything Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware is really virus..
Wake up Pls..There are a lot of False Positives..This is one of them..If u Look on youtube for Adwcleaner There are a lot of videos teaching how to use it..Showing this specific website to download.
