Thank you for this new release.
Unfortunately, some of the false positives I've listed a while back are still being flagged:
Simple Adblock (which is now Adblock Plus for IE)
ProgSense
Hola
Legitimate proxy server settings
Why have you removed the option to DisableAskProtection, DisableBrowsersProtection, DisableProxyProtection....?
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.
@anonsubmitter, yes you are right. But, most free software downloaded on the Web come bundled up with useless crapware anyway. The YTD downloader box, if you don't want the app, can easily be unchecked while installing your main program. Unckeck all boxes for programs unrelated to the main program. If you need YTD or Hotspot Shield, they have a website where you can get them. No need to be bundled up to anything. They are already very popular. They both can be uninstalled very easily from Programs & Features, so they should not be removed by AdwCleaner. Removing Hotspot Shield this way messes up the Internet connection.
For those who don't usually pay attention while installing software, a program like Unchecky could be very useful. That way, you won't be flooding the malware removal forums all over the Web.

It's a very useful tool - thank you!
I have a feature request: Check box setting to go straight to reboot after cleaning. :)
There are two wrong definitions in the database, please correct that.

Those are two firefox plugins:
Download Helper: https://addons.mozilla.org/bg/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/
Empty Cache Button: https://addons.mozilla.org/bg/firefox/addon/empty-cache-button/
Of course check that.
I'm running Windows 8.1 Enterprise (x86), Firefox 34.0;
I've donated you three times.
Do that and there will be a fourth.
Thank you!
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!
Adwcleaner is detecting speedbit video downloader as a malware. This makes it difficult in cleaning other malwares as some of the links might be related to speedbit video downloader. could you check this link and solve the problem (https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/54048-malwarebytes-anti-malware-version-146-erroneously-detects-speedbit-speedbit-video-downloader-as-adwareecobar/). Thank you
It is still blocking Logmein.. could you please check that too?
After I run the download and scan I get all these boxes with check marks. The sentence at the top tells me to uncheck any I don't want deleted. I fact, they are important files and I do not want to delete them. I just wanted to clean them. Do I uncheck all then proceed or? Thanks. JR
Bonjour,
AdwCleaner a bien supprimé OfferBox de mon PC (merci beaucoup) mais n’a pas rétabli les paramètres de connexion à internet : OfferBox s'était mis en serveur proxy dans le navigateur Internet Explorer (donc aussi dans Firefox qui reprend les paramètres d'Internet Explorer) donc je n'avais plus de connexion à internet après avoir exécuté AdwCleaner.
AdwCleaner a aussi voulu supprimer ces 3 raccourcis (j'ai évidemment refusé) :
- C:\Users\PC\Desktop\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\CIC.lnk
Pour info, les 3 raccourcis CIC.lnk contiennent :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" 2421035398.mobile.cic.fr
Merci pour votre investissement dans ce formidable outil qu'est AdwCleaner, bonne continuation.
