Just downloaded this software and already its as buggy as hell:
AutoIt Error.
Line 10570 (file "C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\adware_6.000.exe")
Error: Variable used without being declared.
Can't get it to work, thanks for the headache.
In re: version 6 Didn't scan Firefox (or perhaps scanned it but found nothing) but there is no Firefox tab. 5.x versions showed Chrome and Firefox tabs even if they had no content. (Firefox was running while the scan was running.)
Can't grab the edge of adwcleaner to make its window larger; was possible in 5.x versions
I really appreciate what you do with this program. It's one hell of a program. I do have a suggestion, though:
I've noticed that, the more up-to-date it is, the slower it becomes...it takes quite some time for it to scan a system, despite using SSDs.
Could you split the scanning process among 4+ cores of the CPU so that the scanning speed is improved? Could you give the software 4 instances with Affinity specifically set to a CPU core? I believe doing that may improve its scanning time, especially on SSDs (which are usually the ones holding the entire Windows installation -> and this last one is what most infection target (Users folder, Windows, Program Data...)
Thank you again for your work on this great tool! No wonder it has so many millions of downloads
Hmm… Not nice. AdwCleaner 6.000 found registry keys:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\FWTools.FWUtil
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\FWTools.FWUtil.1
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\SQLActiveScriptHost
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\SWNGRE.uiMeshDecoWizardPage_c
and sure cleaned them out.
After reboot I looked up what a heck those keys was about and found they are all FloXpress utility in SolidWorks 2014. I’m using this program last 2 years and never had any problems with program nor viruses. Now SolidWorks crashes when starting FloXpress… So sad…
Check everything before you cleaning with AdwCleaner 6.000 !
A window dialog popped out, title: "AutoIt Error". Shows an error icon and an OK button, and it says:
"Line 10549 (File "С:\AdwCleaner 6.000.exe"):
Error: Variable used without being declared."
When "OK" button clicked, the main window "AdwCleaner - v6.000 - ToolsLib" just closed, in other words AdwCleeaner.exe suddenly killed with hundreds threats left uncleaned.
I wonder it getting fixed on the next version, thank you.

I had some nasty adware (called popunderclick or something of the like) and AVG was doing nothing about it. Looked up some adware cleaners and this popped up. It works great and runs smoothly! Highly recommended!!
Was a little nervous when it made my computer lag for a few minutes and then asked to restart and the restart took a while. But all of the adware is gone, thank you man :)
@yvon666 Bonjour, comme précisé dans la description plus haut, AdwCleaner ne supporte "que" Windows.
Hi, I have an issue when i run "AdwCleaner 5.201". Whenever I run this particular version, my computer just hangs for few seconds, then starts functioning again. However, the AdwCleaner software doesn't start at all. I tried running the software several times. Same thing happens every time I try running the software. I downloaded twice again, after deleting the previous files, but to no avail. I also deleted all the temporary files, restarted the system, but was of no help.
I would like to know if the same thing or anything similar has happened to anyone and how was it resolved. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you.
