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 .
Adwcleaner finds a threat in file web data located in C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default . The value is Search Provider and data is search.babylon.com.
I deleted it several times and it still can't be removed, even I deleted the whole Web data file.
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.
I have a couple of false positives to report that keep getting flagged, but shouldn't be.
1. Under Scheduled Tasks, RunAsStdUser Task is C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe
This is a legit Directory Opus entry.
2. Under Shortcuts, C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\TeraByte Unlimited\TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro\Ready To Run Scripts\INISTART - Reset Windows Startup.lnk
This is a legit Terabyte Image for Windows shortcut.
AdwCleaner 5.112 reports the database is corrupt. I've downloaded multiple times directly from https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1/
Please check the posted file and advise.
Добрый день, большое спасибо за замечательную программу AdwCleaner. И просьба сделать в программе проверку *.lnk файлов браузеров (не только Internet Explorer) по пути c:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\, c:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu\, c:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\, c:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\, поскольку в свойствах *.lnk после вирусов часто подменяется путь на другой. Спасибо за внимание.
bonjour adwcleaner détecte tout le dossier comme étant un fichier malveillant ==> C:\Users\**********\AppData\Local\Steam\htmlcache <== c un bug ?

Depuis un bon bout de temps, quand j'utilise ADWCLEANER, j'ai des messages qui veulent me supprimer l'extension ZOOM de GOOGLE, est-ce normale. Je n'en ai jamais fais de cas, mais à la longue c'est tannant. Voici les messages:

C'est en supprimant ces demandes que je me suis rendu compte que ça parlait de ZOOM de GOOGLE, car à chaque fois que je les ai supprimés, j'ai du réinstaller ZOOM ??????????
