This is an AWESOME application. Nicely done.
Any change of Command Line functions in the future?
works well for me in english and polishes off bugs handsomely
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...
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.

@anonsubmitter, yes you are right. But, most free software downloaded on the Web come bundled up with useless crapware anyway. The YTD downloader box, if you don't want the app, can easily be unchecked while installing your main program. Unckeck all boxes for programs unrelated to the main program. If you need YTD or Hotspot Shield, they have a website where you can get them. No need to be bundled up to anything. They are already very popular. They both can be uninstalled very easily from Programs & Features, so they should not be removed by AdwCleaner. Removing Hotspot Shield this way messes up the Internet connection.
For those who don't usually pay attention while installing software, a program like Unchecky could be very useful. That way, you won't be flooding the malware removal forums all over the Web.

@Yotony: The second and third link error'd somehow. Here are the ones I were trying to post:

Just downloaded to update my version, but can't run it because Norton antivirus detects a thread and deletes it immediately. The threat is identified as 'Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP'.
Not sure if this is a false positive, but don't want to take a chance on it. Please verify the software, clean it if necessary and update the download link (or post a note). Txs.
