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
Hello from Ontario Canada. Thanks for the tools as always. Here's my bug report for adwcleaner v6.000
AutoIt Error
Line 10570 (File "C:\Users\username*\Downloads\Adwcleaner.exe"):
Error: Variable used without being declared.
@renald02 ...et si vous usez de patience, vous la verrez fleurir. LOL
Greetings,
About process killed during cleaning. It will be fixed in the next release.
Concerning elements that are not deleted, can you please describe your problem by sharing logfiles using our forum (https://toolslib.net) ?
Thanks.
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.
Can you please make update feature in this program so we don't have to come here to download it and it updates itself from the program?
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.
