Salut à vous,
J'ai actuellement constaté une chose étrange sur AdwCleaner 4.106:
il me détecte le dossier qui contient Adblock comme malveillant:
C:\Users\nom\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom
Suis-je le seul ?

There are two wrong definitions in the database, please correct that.

***** [ Files / Folders ] *****
Folder Found : C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ct1cmlj.default\Extensions\{4cc4a13b-94a6-7568-370d-5f9de54a9c7f}
Folder Found : C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ct1cmlj.default\Extensions\{b9db16a4-6edc-47ec-a1f4-b86292ed211d}

Those are two firefox plugins:
Download Helper: https://addons.mozilla.org/bg/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/
Empty Cache Button: https://addons.mozilla.org/bg/firefox/addon/empty-cache-button/

Of course check that.
I'm running Windows 8.1 Enterprise (x86), Firefox 34.0;
I've donated you three times.
Do that and there will be a fourth.
Thank you!

I never update my adwcleaner version automatically kicked from the app. I delete the app and I download the new version ONLY here. CNET or other site put their own spices with it that kicked all kind of security messages.

@ewald81375:
The tasks "Rocket Updater" and "APSnotifierPP1"/"APSnotifierPP2" are already in the current database.
There isn't more I can say for now, sorry.

Again I will ask and hope for an answer!
Cleaning malware with AdwCleaner in Windows 7 of a friend AdwCleaner didn't delete some tasks named "Rocket Updater" and "APSnotifier...". Everything else was deleted. What to do?
Thank you very much for an answer.

AdwCleaner is detecting some registry entries like i.e. "nico mak computing". Click on "clean" but the same entries keep returning over and over again. It does not delete these entries. Why?

For those complaining about XP compatibility, I'm a XP Pro user and I can confirm AdwCleaner is fully compatible with XP. Like everybody though, I have had trouble with version 4, but it has been fixed. The latest 4.103, however, shows a little progress bar for loading the database right before opening the program. It also takes a little too long for the scan to run. Other than that, it works.

By the way, why aren't we getting prompted to install the latest version anymore?

And, I really miss when the program would update without having to download a new .exe file.

I had to make an account just to thank you for this amazing program.
I had something crazy going on on my computer that installed priceechopp and savemaass as extensions on chrome every time I opened it - making ads pop up everywhere...
I tried going through my installed programs list and deleting things (I found scary things with tricky names that looked normal in there too) but nothing helped
I read forums and forums about people who had the same problem as me and were installing all these programs with none of them helping
Finally someone said that this helped so I tried it
It was so fast, and so weird to see the notepad open with all of these scary files that were deleted - I would have never thought to look for them in those locations

Anyways thank you sooo much.
And for anyone who wants to get rid of pricechopp, this is the only thing I've heard of that actually works.
