hi first of all it is very good the program helps me a lot for what I necesito.Yo not use it for what is the subject virus only use it to close all programs and things that I have open when playing games helps me much to free up rAM and speed up the prosesador.Pero I have problems in windows 10 to close everything and open the explorer.exe become an error that I do not like to open the explorer.exe opens again this occurs but not works any of your choices ... what I mean I mean that when you open the explorer.exe if everything well but the taskbar in their functions as well as any work that gives me the problem of not being able to access open to any the functions of the explorer.exe process that is vital in the Windows interface will not let me open anything or interact with the start menu absolutely nada..trate to start the task manually with task manager in administrator mode and normal mode but still does not work ... Now my proposal is this that when closing the processes in your program that put an option to let you close those that you want so you can ensure the explorer.exe process fails at the time of use your program ... I had no problems with this program or windows xP or windows 7, only windows 8 and windows 10 .. in windows 8 the problem is that when you run the program with administrator mode it closes all the processes and programs including explorer.exe to manually open the explorer.exe from the program run in administrator mode is opened but do not work properly options or settings menu windows 8 ... and get a sign saying they can not open the menu configurations because explorer.exe is being executed in administrator mode ... what i love most is that you add the option of that program and want to close the process in your program thanks and see you later.
Greetings,
@fabiolagraeber It's not a bug. Just ignore it. It won't prevent you from downloading AdwCleaner.
@KOPFteam It should be fixed with the latest version of AdwCleaner (6.020).
Regards.
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!
AdwCleaner lists Mipony as a Potentially Unwanted Program, aka PUP; however it is not. When installing Mipony Download Manager, it clearly lists other software which will be installed if you do not uncheck the box, just as many other software programs do. Please remove Mipony from your list of PUPs. As is, I have to uncheck all the little boxes every time I run AdwCleaner. Thank you.
AdwCleaner 6.010, false positive registry detection:
{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814} belong to IObit Uninstaller, and its very safe.

hola gente, tengo un problema con adwcleaner y mi windows 10. cuando trato de instalarlo sale una pantalla de que el sotfware no es puede instalarse. alguien que me pueda ayudar. gracias
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.
Just downloaded this software and already its as buggy as hell:
AutoIt Error.
Line 10570 (file "C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\adware_6.000.exe")
Error: Variable used without being declared.
Can't get it to work, thanks for the headache.
In re: version 6 Didn't scan Firefox (or perhaps scanned it but found nothing) but there is no Firefox tab. 5.x versions showed Chrome and Firefox tabs even if they had no content. (Firefox was running while the scan was running.)
Can't grab the edge of adwcleaner to make its window larger; was possible in 5.x versions
