I am so mad right now. I was working on a couple of documents while running adwcleaner scan. Toolslib developers, is it so hard to ask the user what is about to happen and await confirmation before closing all apps WITHOUT giving a chance for the user to save?! Not to mention the automatic reboot! Can't beleive this
Good afternoon,
Downloaded version 6.020, shut all other programmes, ran adwcleaner "scan" then selected "clean" but it stopped responding on "clean files". Shut programme using Task Manager.
Repeated process, same result.
Rebooted and repeated process. Same result.
Windows Vista. Any ideas?
@nico1611 Pouvez-vous décrire le problème rencontré ? Merci.
@Mattilde Je vous invite à créer un nouveau sujet sur notre forum, vous pourrez alors y présenter le contenu du rapport de scan et une personne qualifiée vous expliqueras la marche à suivre.
Awesome work! I have a few things to mention though:
AdwCleaner keeps detecting SereneScreen's Marine Aquarium as a problem. This is a legit screensaver I paid for. Please configure it to stop detecting this as a problem. Also HCKU\Software\SlimWare Utilities are not adware / malware or any kind of problem either - it's a program called AVG Driver Updater - it can be downloaded from here: http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-driver-updater
It's also strange that the AVG PC Tuneup Task Background Maintenance is detected under Scheduled Tasks. AVG PC Tuneup is a legitimate optimization suite that has the to clean registry , temporary files and broken shortcuts and defrag in the background. It's a legit program I installed myself and that can be downloaded from AVG.com.
Other than that, it's a great program. PLEASE:
1. Provide a "Send Feedback / Report incorrect detections" option in the program.
2. Provide the option to have an exclusion list and exclude incorrect detections from being re-detected in future scans, as unchecking every single detail in every single tab gets tiresome.
Keep up the great work!
Bonsoir, j'ai une question, surement débile mais bon je tente ! A la fin du scan est-ce qu'on peut tout nettoyer car je ne sais pas forcément à quoi correspond chaque service/fichier/dossier and co, et j'ai peur de supprimer des choses qu'il ne faut pas (comme j'ai pu lire dans certains commentaires...)
Merci d'avance de votre réponse !
AdwCleaner worked perfectly for my newer computer yesterday, but for some reason whenever i try to scan on this (old) computer, there is always an error that stops and crashes the anti-adware program.
Buenas,
me acabo de actualizar el programa adwcleaner:6.000 y se me bloquea...
Hacia la busqueda de exploradores web(al final del escaneo) me aparece la siguiente ventana:
Autoit error
Line 10570 (File "C:\.........)
Error: Variable used without being declared.
Me podeis ayudar a solucionarlo?
Muchas gracias.
Felicitaciones a los creadores.
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
Version 6.0. After scanning, Adwcleaner finds in the Chrome tab: Value: "startup_url" and data "hxxp://search.conduit.com/...". Although I select the Clean button, this value and data remain after the cleaning process and reboot.
