Forgive me if this has already been asked but is there any command line switches to enable an automated silent cleanup? If not would there be a possibility of adding this feature. We look after many pcs on a managed service and we're trying to find a program that can clean up toolbars and other unwanted software automatically on a schedule.
I love the software, but it doesn't seem to get rid of the Positive Finds or Buzzdock adware viruses. Then again neither do any of the other scanners out there... Can you please help?
Hi I have infected your computer with a new virus, and I have no way to remove it with any antivirus, see if you can help me please, is installed in browsers, when I open the browser I get this ad http: //search.noticiastime .org /, searching by google this same page, not even find it, hope you can help, greetings and thanks for the program.
I find many legitimate items flagged by AdwCleaner. Blindly clicking on Clean (now Cleaning???) is asking for trouble.
Hola, Hotspot Shield, YTD YouTube Downloader, AVG LinkScanner, etc. are not adware. They should not be deleted by AdwCleaner.
Hi again, I found the reports at C:\AdwCleaner. You may find them on the same link http://1drv.ms/16uCsum
Concerning the uninstall procedure I explained below, the pictures were actually from the Quarantine Manger. Thanks!
Hello, AdwCleaner cant find the adware that is modifying my homepage, my homepage opens this site: Trollface.biz and this site http://loansexpress.info/ i also tried to install YAC (yet another cleaner) and it cant find the problem too. please help

Here are most of the entries I could find. I believe the Hotspot Shield drivers might be the culprit. One user had a driver inside Device Manager. Replacing that driver with one from another working computer seems to have corrected the connection issue.

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?
@IRON67. Ich weiss, Google-Cache ist #Neuland für dich, deshalb habe ich dir ein Scree.... ähm Bildschirmlichtbild gemacht: http://abload.de/img/changelogy7u94.png
Meinen Realnamen findest du seit 16 Jahren im gelben Board unter Kontakt. Ich weiss leider nicht, wie ich es für dich einfacher machen könnte. Abgesehen davon, brauchst du dich nicht registrieren, da du einen Account schon hast: http://www.trojaner-board.de/member.php?u=1000
Ich muss aber leider feststellen, dass du als gutefrage-User immer noch von den Fähigkeiten über dem Durchschnitt der Mitglieder dort liegst, also mach weiter so.
Auch dir ein frohes Fest, und...
