@ThosThos,
I'm using XP, and AdwCleaner has never detected any adware or malware on my computer other than one or two orphan registry entries. How many did AdwCleaner detect on your Windows 7 computer? Oh yeah, 140.... There's a lot more to computing than having the very latest... ;)
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 can't run the new adw cleaner version on my pc because I get this AutoIt Error message when opening the file: "Line 2057 (File "G:\adwcleaner_4.102.exe"): Error: Variable must be of type "Object". I use Vista premium 64 bits. Can somebody help? Thank you.
There is a file v3DDNetService.exe located in C:\Windows\System32. This file is used by SpeceDesk, see http://spacedesk.ph/ .
Could you please remove this fle from your list of malware?

DEAR MR cocochepeau ANDD MR XPLODE
REMOVE THE BIG LIE YOU HAVE RE-ENTERED:
YR TOOL IS STILL NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS XP
YOU ARE MAKING A FOOL OF US
YOU HAVE BETRAYED ALL WINDOWS XP'S USERS
I have just installed and ran it but after I selected all folders, files and registry files to clean it restarted what I saw is Radsteroidsis stiil there in my all programme and showing unwanted add in chrome, please help, does any body have any solution for Radsteroids?
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.
DEAR MR cocochepeau AND MR XPLODE
PLS CANCEL THIS LIE FROM THE SITE:
-It's compatible with Windows XP-
Cleaning malware with AdwCleaner in an 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.
