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:

THANK YOU OMG I CAN FINALLY OPEN MY BROWSER WITHOUT 3000 ADS FLOATING EVERYWHERE
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
This is the best software I have ever used! Thank you so much! It fixed everything! My browser was corrupted and my computer had an ad software virus and you fixed that too. So many thanks to all of you for your great program!

L'antivirus n'a rien pu faire!

hi,
good day
thank you so much, this softwere helped to clean the ad ware successfully.
i was facing the fowling problems:
- DNS and internet dosent works.
-mysearchstar foeces hime page and can not set specific browser home page.
- alto of advertising windows run on brows page.
after cleaned by AdwCleaner everything became good and secure.
warm regards
I need help with this.
Can you please add cleaning for the browser hijacker called "Alarabeyes" and "Alnaddy". I am pretty sure it could help thousands of people. Would appreciate the developers greatly. Also if possible please add security detection for Opera.
I'm normally very careful about my downloads, but today I accidentally made a mistake, and ended up with so much adware that I could barely open my browser. I made an account just to say than you, Adwcleaner, you saved me A LOT of frustration.
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.
