AdwCleaner removes Hotspot Shield. However, many users have messed up their Internet connections in the process. If you're reading this, please see what you can do to correct the issue. Thanks
This is one of my favorite programs when i clean up friends computers, it has saved me many, many times, thank you for making it free, awesome work!!
After running you program the only things I could see listed were the files under the files tab. I selected them and selected the clean button. Your program cleaned them, closed my computer and rebooted. All seemed well until I went into my task manager. To my surprise under the processes tab, 82 Background Processes were listed in addition to 5 Apps. Many seemed to be duplicates (25) (Google Chrome (32 bit). Is this normal? Was it a mistake to delete those files? If so can it be reversed? If not why wasn't there a strong warning stating the consequences?
es un gran programa, mi más grata felicitación, saludos desde españa :)
Couldn't remember password..so I made a new account.
@cocochepeau I emailed VIPRE about 2 days ago, and yes they confirmed: IT IS A FALSE POSITIVE. They said to make sure your software has the newest VIPRE definitions to the latest version (36814 or higher) and scan the file again...it found no threats to Adwcleaner.
So, it is safe to use!
Bonjour,
Les 2 dernières versions suppriment l'historique de "Windows Update".....
Pour être certaine de ce que j’affirme, j'ai fait 2 fois un restaure système. Sur ma restauration il y a des dates avec des mises à jours et après avoir utiliser "AdwCleaner", il n'y a plus aucune dates disponibles. Le seul moyen de les consulter est de passer par le "Programmes et fonctionnalités".
Je suis avec Windows 7 pro 64....
Bonne journée
Edelweiss
@benlec C'est prévu, mais pas pour tout de suite.
Bonjour,
Prévoyez vous de faire une version en ligne de commande et qui se met a jour automatiquement?
Nous voudrions utiliser ce soft sur un parc de milliers de machines.
Merci
