AdwCleaner works really well. Thank you! It would be great if you could add SimpleHelp 4.2 Remote Access service to the whitelist. I get disconnected from the remote computer during the cleaning process. This is remote support software similar to TeamViewer and others. Thank you!
Please report about any false positive (negative) detections here in comments.
Forgive me if this has already been asked but is there any command line switches to enable an automated silent cleanup? If not would there be a possibility of adding this feature. We look after many pcs on a managed service and we're trying to find a program that can clean up toolbars and other unwanted software automatically on a schedule.
Dear Xplode!
I LOVE AdwCleaner it helps me a lot! I love that it first kills almost all processes in order to do a good job after. In older versions it terminated the TeamViewer applications process too but I noticed that now it trusts TV so it leavs it alone. This is great! As I understand there is a "whitelist" for apps that won't be terminated before a clean? If so I would like to propose a new addition to this list: Ammyy. Ammyy is just like TV: a legit remote admin app. It has a free version also I think a lot of people use it. Sometimes I user it instead of TV but now I can't run Adw through it because then I "close my self out" of the computer: without "local" user interaction I won't be able to get back in the computer after I click ADW Clean. Their website: http://www.ammyy.com/en/
What do you think? Thanks for your answer in advance and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Thank you in the name of all the users of ADW!

As far as I can see from log,it looks like scanning is stuck at Pale Moon.
IE11 and Firefox 36 are scanned.Everything was fine 7 days ago.Maybe something is wrong with

Voilà un mini-programme pour se débarrasser de logiciels espions en un minimum de temps ! Un grand merci !
Malheur à ceux qui ont été habituée à utiliser un logiciel espion…
Hélas, il enlève aussi par défaut deux modules bien utiles: HTML Validator sur Firefox et New Tab Redirect sur Chrome (cela dit, peut-être effectivement malveillants).
Oui, il suffit de décocher les lignes, mais encore faut-il connaître avant la première suppression la correspondance de la ligne avec le logiciel ou module…
regarding Onslaught10989 comment...I Google the Virus name and read about it and see what comes up...for me ADW cleaner came up and it worked...there should be something out there for your issues..have not heard of those though yet.*john
@Me1: I haven't used YTD Video Downloader in years, so I can't say anything about that. If I remember correctly Hotspot Shield had at least one banner that appeared when the user had the software running and disappeared when the user closed the software. What I meant is that it could be the bundleware / adware part of the installers and the banner ad in Hotspot Shield that is triggering the heuristic in AdwCleaner. I agree with you though, these softwares should be whitelisted.
