After running you program the only things I could see listed were the files under the files tab. I selected them and selected the clean button. Your program cleaned them, closed my computer and rebooted. All seemed well until I went into my task manager. To my surprise under the processes tab, 82 Background Processes were listed in addition to 5 Apps. Many seemed to be duplicates (25) (Google Chrome (32 bit). Is this normal? Was it a mistake to delete those files? If so can it be reversed? If not why wasn't there a strong warning stating the consequences?
cocochepeau, thanks a lot for the clarification, and also for this very useful tool!
Couldn't remember password..so I made a new account.
@cocochepeau I emailed VIPRE about 2 days ago, and yes they confirmed: IT IS A FALSE POSITIVE. They said to make sure your software has the newest VIPRE definitions to the latest version (36814 or higher) and scan the file again...it found no threats to Adwcleaner.
So, it is safe to use!
For People Who Think Everything Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware is really virus..
Wake up Pls..There are a lot of False Positives..This is one of them..If u Look on youtube for Adwcleaner There are a lot of videos teaching how to use it..Showing this specific website to download.
Bonjour,
Les 2 dernières versions suppriment l'historique de "Windows Update".....
Pour être certaine de ce que j’affirme, j'ai fait 2 fois un restaure système. Sur ma restauration il y a des dates avec des mises à jours et après avoir utiliser "AdwCleaner", il n'y a plus aucune dates disponibles. Le seul moyen de les consulter est de passer par le "Programmes et fonctionnalités".
Je suis avec Windows 7 pro 64....
Bonne journée

@benlec C'est prévu, mais pas pour tout de suite.
Hi,
is it necessary to run Adwcleaner from the Desktop?
can i execute it for instance from something like C:\Downloads?
Thanks!
I used your software to try and delete V9 and DeltaHomes, but no luck. It seemed to 'clean' up alot of things, but I haven't noticed any change. Can I please get some help?
Bonjour,
Prévoyez vous de faire une version en ligne de commande et qui se met a jour automatiquement?
Nous voudrions utiliser ce soft sur un parc de milliers de machines.
Merci
