Can I just say thanks for AdwCleaner. I had 140 ad-programs clogging my machine. Your software got rid of them fast! Also, a word to the XP users out there. It is a little strange to be using an operating system no longer supported by MS with utilities and security updates - and then complain that an Adware removal program won't work on it! Your computer is a disaster waiting to happen! Please upgrade to Win 7 at least - for your own sake.
Hi Xplode, just wanted to update you with this discussion @ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/558151/adwcleaner-deleted-system-required-registry-entries/
Can you please include screenconnect in your ignored processes? Just recently adwcleaner started targeting screen connect for removal. This is one of the most popular remote connection utilities out there so you should be able to ignore it. Their site is screenconnect.com.
Also, I'm surprised so many people are using XP still. I can understand using it on an isolated production system, but for everyone else, I think it's time to move on.
For those complaining about XP compatibility, I'm a XP Pro user and I can confirm AdwCleaner is fully compatible with XP. Like everybody though, I have had trouble with version 4, but it has been fixed. The latest 4.103, however, shows a little progress bar for loading the database right before opening the program. It also takes a little too long for the scan to run. Other than that, it works.
By the way, why aren't we getting prompted to install the latest version anymore?
And, I really miss when the program would update without having to download a new .exe file.
bonjour,
Google vous a blacklisté, en effet au téléchargement de Adwcleaner, google chrome dit:
"adwcleaner peut nuire à votre confort de navigation, il a donc été bloqué par chrome"...
Comment peut on bypasser cette interdiction?
Merci

For at least 2 versions ago, Adwcleaner is detecting problems in "Folders" with a program called "System Mechanic" from "Iolo" (http://www.iolo.com). This program is helping our computers to stay functional, healthy and safe. Could it be possible to whitelist this program? Thanks!
I know I asked for this several months ago but, when killing off processes before cleaning, could you whitelist ScreenConnect? I can't express how much I would like to be able to run this program remotely.
I have just installed and ran it but after I selected all folders, files and registry files to clean it restarted what I saw is Radsteroidsis stiil there in my all programme and showing unwanted add in chrome, please help, does any body have any solution for Radsteroids?
Thanks a lot for this cleaner. i downloaded this one and junk removal tool and now there are no pop ups from ad coiup or whatever it was called, among others.
