@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.

Merci pour ce logiciel miracle. Il a déjà débloqué des situations désespérées chez des personnes (amis, famille) que j'ai dépannées.
Une question: la dernière version (adwcleaner_4.110) signale "Everything", logiciel de recherche hyper-efficace et absolument indispensable que j'utilise en permanence depuis longtemps, comme élément à supprimer.
Pourquoi donc ?
Hi, After running AdwCleaner and reboot I cannot log anymore in into my standard Windows 7 account, I get a black screen and then it makes log off. This is an account without password protection. I ran AdwCleaner from inside that standard account, by entering the admin password when asked. Luckily, I can still log in into my admin account. Is there anything to fix this issue? If not, can I undo what AdwCleanr did? Thanks!
It's a very useful tool - thank you!
I have a feature request: Check box setting to go straight to reboot after cleaning. :)
Bonsoir Xplode
AdwCleaner 4.109 détecte bien ColorMedia et propose la suppression des services cmwr et cmwfp ainsi que la suppression des fichiers C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwr.sys et C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwf.sys mais au reboot du PC les services et les fichiers annoncés comme supprimés par AdwCleaner sont toujours là!
Voici un extrait du fichier des logs:
***** [ Services ] *****
[#] Service Supprimé : ColorMedia
Service Supprimé : cmwf
[#] Service Supprimé : cmwr
[#] Service Supprimé : CMWFP
***** [ Fichiers / Dossiers ] *****
Fichier Supprimé : C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwr.sys
Fichier Supprimé : C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwf.sys

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?
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,
Norton & Malwarebytes Anti-Malware n'ont eu aucunes réactions chez moi. Rien de particulier côté sécurité à signaler.
Bon point et MERCI: cette nouvelle version 4.107 ne supprime plus l'ancienne lors du téléchargement.
Dans l'immédiat rien constater de plus
Excellente journée
Edelweiss
