I posted this before, but nothing has changed. I have not been able to use AdwCleaner since the update to 4.2. All three of my computers hang up on "cleaning web browsers" and must be shut down the hard way: by pushing the button. There is no other way to get the computer to shut down AdwCleaner. I used to be able to run it in a few minutes, and it got rid of everything my other scanners don't catch. Now I can't use it at all. Please fix!

We are aware of problems you can encounter using AdwCleaner right now. We added a huge number of modifications with the 4th branch and there are still some isolated bugs remaining. We are working hard in order to fix them asap.
I want to say Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You! I was having a terrible problem with Royal Coupon on my computer. I literally stopped using my computer because it was so slow. I had downloaded other programs to clean my computer. Hardly a dent in speeding my computer up. 2 hours ago I downloaded Adw Cleaner. I went for lunch. Came back....And Voila!! My computer works like it is NEW AGAIN! This is amazing. Thank you!!!!!! I will recommend you!
I have had a virus several times in the past month. AdwCleaner seems to fix it, but then it comes back a week or two later. Today it mutated worse than ever. It deleted all the old versions of AdwCleaner off my hard drive. When I came here to download the latest version, IE would not load the page, it just said Waiting, forever. Opera acted like it downloaded, but nothing happened. I clicked Didn't Work? Click Here, and the same thing would happen, countdown from five, and then nothing. This is a pretty smart virus to delete the old copies and not let you download the new one. Do you know about this virus? What must I do to keep it from coming back again?
Everyone is having trouble with 3.303. Me too. I'm sure they will fix this excellent software soon.
I couldn't believe how hard it was to find the previous version. Maybe I missed the easy button somewhere. I did find it and I'm mirroring it on my website. You can use my mirror to get 3.302 at http://isurf2.com/adw
Is there a way to get this with instructions and window dialog in English? I'd be very grateful. Unfortunately that's my singular language. Would love to use this program. Upgraded my hard drive and when cloned from smaller drive, lost ability to do Windows Update. Thinking it thinks it's a pirated copy of Windows Vista. However, it is a valid copy. Just moving to bigger drive. Thanks for any help.
Re Tom1110: Try NOT to reformat your hard disk so soon unless you absolutely have to -- it's like doing brain surgery for a hangnail -- use this challenge as an exercise to discover, quarantine and delete the culprit -- whatever malware you got is annoying BUT try doing more research online using search terms combined with "Movie Mode" before you resort to reformatting. Combine your troubleshooting techniques with Safe Mode. Do you have a real security program that you've paid for and subscribe to? -- With it you'll be able to get some real professional tech support. Good Luck.
