Awesome work! I have a few things to mention though:
AdwCleaner keeps detecting SereneScreen's Marine Aquarium as a problem. This is a legit screensaver I paid for. Please configure it to stop detecting this as a problem. Also HCKU\Software\SlimWare Utilities are not adware / malware or any kind of problem either - it's a program called AVG Driver Updater - it can be downloaded from here: http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-driver-updater
It's also strange that the AVG PC Tuneup Task Background Maintenance is detected under Scheduled Tasks. AVG PC Tuneup is a legitimate optimization suite that has the to clean registry , temporary files and broken shortcuts and defrag in the background. It's a legit program I installed myself and that can be downloaded from AVG.com.
Other than that, it's a great program. PLEASE:
1. Provide a "Send Feedback / Report incorrect detections" option in the program.
2. Provide the option to have an exclusion list and exclude incorrect detections from being re-detected in future scans, as unchecking every single detail in every single tab gets tiresome.
Keep up the great work!
I Love this program it has saved my computer more than once.
AdwCleaner worked perfectly for my newer computer yesterday, but for some reason whenever i try to scan on this (old) computer, there is always an error that stops and crashes the anti-adware program.
Found 41 items in HKLM/Software...but info is in complete,so i don't know if they're safe to remove or not...it also keeps adding the Sendspace and extensions folders all the time,yet I do know there is no malware in either of those. If these issues don't get fixed,I'll have to stop using the program,rather than screw up my computer by deleting something I may need.
Hello from Ontario Canada. Thanks for the tools as always. Here's my bug report for adwcleaner v6.000
AutoIt Error
Line 10570 (File "C:\Users\username*\Downloads\Adwcleaner.exe"):
Error: Variable used without being declared.
Was a little nervous when it made my computer lag for a few minutes and then asked to restart and the restart took a while. But all of the adware is gone, thank you man :)
Hi, I have an issue when i run "AdwCleaner 5.201". Whenever I run this particular version, my computer just hangs for few seconds, then starts functioning again. However, the AdwCleaner software doesn't start at all. I tried running the software several times. Same thing happens every time I try running the software. I downloaded twice again, after deleting the previous files, but to no avail. I also deleted all the temporary files, restarted the system, but was of no help.
I would like to know if the same thing or anything similar has happened to anyone and how was it resolved. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you.
Please ignore my previous post. Just found out myself :D.
Hi there, I check myself for updates and wonder how I can turn off email notifications of new AdwCleaner updates?
