Good afternoon,
Downloaded version 6.020, shut all other programmes, ran adwcleaner "scan" then selected "clean" but it stopped responding on "clean files". Shut programme using Task Manager.
Repeated process, same result.
Rebooted and repeated process. Same result.
Windows Vista. Any ideas?
I have problems with popups in firefox and Iexplorer to empazon.ru/ and other Urls like (http://t1473265310.lokvel.ru/0zwfe0emaa0sl58m3w3l11it2okml30rt2ur0nph0tnaerj9jj2xeko?if=&s=fr%3Dadtop%26r%3D0.07312662829644978) adwcleaner not found anything.
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.
A window dialog popped out, title: "AutoIt Error". Shows an error icon and an OK button, and it says:
"Line 10549 (File "С:\AdwCleaner 6.000.exe"):
Error: Variable used without being declared."
When "OK" button clicked, the main window "AdwCleaner - v6.000 - ToolsLib" just closed, in other words AdwCleeaner.exe suddenly killed with hundreds threats left uncleaned.
I wonder it getting fixed on the next version, thank you.

I cant get over how well this worked. I am astonished at the time it took, and the efficiency of it. It even cleaned up the rest of left over files of other adwares from years before. If i could meet the people that made this, I would tell them straight up on how well this worked. I barely ever write reviews, but this by far deserved a good review. Much love, and stay virus and adware clean!
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH FOR PROVIDING this superb TOOL. I sincerely recommend it to everyone who wants to get rid of the "other instance is running" popup every time you start your Computer because of that "Web Companion” virus that sneaks into your system a s a parasite alongside other apps on the web. On top of wiping away that parasitical Web Companion Crap, AdwCLEARNER is a truly user friendly tool to clean up all kinds of nasty stuff that is floating around on the internet.
Great tool! thanks a lot, much appreciated - used on many Windows 7 machines, takes care of a lot of nasties that I wouldn't have detected otherwise
I've run this software on even very heavily infected systems and its amazing how quickly and effective AdwCleaner removes even the worst adware. Even adware that could not be removed with other software got cleaned by this.
