Do not download!
Good Morning!
I'm trying to uninstall your program. I'm assuming it's a single use program, that is download it when you need it, then, delete it. I'm afraid I don't understand your above term "using the 'mode uninstall.'
I see Adware in my downloads file, but there's no uninstaller. It's not listed in "Programs & Features," so I can't uninstall from there.
I'm trying to get numerous SearchScopes entries OUT of my registry. While I successfully downloaded & ran Adware from Bleeping Computer this morning, when I tried to download from your site, Sonar blocked it. I don't know what Sonar is, so I figure I'd better uninstall, clean out Adware, and do some reading before I try again.
Is the "mode uninstall" a new term/function? Can someone help me understand,please? Appreciativley...
Thank you for creating and continuing to update AdwCleaner. My 68 year old neighbor called me asking for help removing what turned out to be "Ads by CheckMeUp". Your software worked perfectly, and even found and resolved another issue as well. I am going to donate to help you continue your efforts. It's not a lot, but i hope everyone you help is able to donate something...thanks again!
I downloaded Adwcleaner today from CNET
I got a warning it was out of date, and was directed to a link for the current version
I downloaded the new Adwcleaner and when I tried installing it,
"Avast Antivirus" gave me this warning:
https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1/get/aZ8f/
Infection: Win32:Malware-gen
The file was quarantined:
File Name: dwNRRc3h.exe.part
Virus Description: Win32:Malware-gen

EXCELENTE PROGRAMA!!!
Muy bueno contra esos Virus de publicidad xc
jaja !!!
Solamente que no me quita los recuadros de publicidad de "ads by safer-surf" pero bueno lo demás si xD!
just like to say thank you your cleaner sorted my p.c out i had been plagued with ads and i couldn't get rid of them so after watching a clip on you tube i came straight to your website and downloaded your cleaner.I couldn't believe it worked and it was so simple to use now i'm ad free and everything is running fine now
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.
This tool helped me get rid of the "Ads by Speed Dial" in Chrome. I was becoming desperate because no tool could get rid of it, Malwarebytes, Spybot, none. manual removal process described on various websites could not be replicated. I was really becoming desperate, I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome, to no avail. I came across one article on a German website, and a poster recommended this tool. I gave it a try and it really worked!!! I am now free of "Ads by Speed Dial". THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL TOOL!!!
