Amazing software, Xplode!
I would like to point out a few things I noticed with AdwCleaner:
SereneScreen is a screensaver software, not malware. Ad-Aware is an anti-adware program, but AdwCleaner keeps detecting it. Also, could you please give us a way to add certain detections to a permanent ignore /excluded list?
I know sometimes software ends up being detected as PUP, therefore an exclusion list should solve any issues with it!
I also want to point out that sometimes, AdwCleaner seems unable to start - sometimes due to an infection, sometimes seemingly without a real reason. It updates and then fails to start.
Keep up the awesome work you're doing!
Xplode, thank you for a great tool. Recently I came across a malware auto-reinstaller that AdwCleaner v4.205 does not detect. I completely removed it using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program.
Log files (and any other data ) available upon request.
Here are the details:
AdwCleaner removed all malware, but it would reinstall after about 5 minutes. I do not know which was the undetected culprit, but here is a list of everything Malwarebytes removed:
PUP.Optional.MultiPlug.Gen, PUP.Optional.ModGoog, PUP.Optional.GigaClicks.A, PUP.Optional.SearchProtect, PUP.Optional.EduApp.A, PUP.Optional.GigaClicks.C, PUP.Optional.Infonaut.A, PUP.Optional.SuperClick.A, PUP.Optional.CrossRider.C, PUP.Optional.Coupoon.A, PUP.Optional.CinemaPlus.A, PUP.Optional.Shopperz.A,PUP.Optional.MBot.A,PUP.Optional.GamesDesktop.A,PUP.Optional.MultiPlug.A,PUP.Optional.CrossBrowse.C,PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller.A,PUP.Optional.SearchProtect.A,PUP.Optional.GlobalUpdate.A,PUP.Optional.Trovi.A,PUP.Optional.Appmgr.A,PUP.Optional.JellySplit.Gen.A,PUP.Optional.Tuto4PC.A,PUP.Optional.SmartWeb.A,PUP.Optional.CrossBrowse, PUP.Optional.CrossRider.A,PUP.Optional.Imali.SID.A,PUP.Optional.Bundle,PUP.Optional.CheckOffer, PUP.Optional.BrowseFox, PUP.Optional.OfferInstaller.C,PUP.Optional.PCOptimizerPro,PUP.Optional.WebBar.A,PUP.Optional.Tuto4PC.A,

Hello the Team,
It's the first times I download "ADWCLEANER" and it's incompatible with my anti-virus, "AVG Pro". There are pretty much 3 years, I use the "adwcleaner" and now with the version V4.203, it doesn't work well. My anti-virus detected it like a virus for my computer. Is it right? Please let me know your result.
But in any case, now, each times I downloaded it, I can register it on the PC. WEIRD!!!
Cannot complete scan, gives Autoit error, the version 4.201 sucks.
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
See the screenshot of the error: https://imgur.com/KwTkbG4
Please fix this new problem.
AdwCleaner is detecting 'Minilyric' which is a 100% legitimate software to play lyrics over almost any media player.

Google it, trust me it is a safe and it would be great to be whitelisted.
Unfortunately, the false positives remain. Doesn't look like it'll be fix any time soon. You should never blindly have AdwCleaner delete everything. Search entries you're not sure about online. You will avoid problems...
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!
Thank you for this new release.
Unfortunately, some of the false positives I've listed a while back are still being flagged:
Simple Adblock (which is now Adblock Plus for IE)
ProgSense
Hola
Legitimate proxy server settings
Why have you removed the option to DisableAskProtection, DisableBrowsersProtection, DisableProxyProtection....?
