For those complaining about XP compatibility, I'm a XP Pro user and I can confirm AdwCleaner is fully compatible with XP. Like everybody though, I have had trouble with version 4, but it has been fixed. The latest 4.103, however, shows a little progress bar for loading the database right before opening the program. It also takes a little too long for the scan to run. Other than that, it works.
By the way, why aren't we getting prompted to install the latest version anymore?
And, I really miss when the program would update without having to download a new .exe file.
I downloaded adwcleaner_4.101.exe and ran virustotal.com on it. 55 scanners were ran and 2 of them detected a virus:
Jiangmin TrojanDropper.FrauDrop.uic
TrendMicro-HouseCall Suspicious_GEN.F47V1113
I'm not sure if I should go ahead and install it.....
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,
j'ai découvert votre logiciel il y a quelques jours, suite à l'infection de mon PC par un adware particulièrement énervant : GO SAVE, une cochonnerie qui envoie sur des pages non désirées et incruste ses propres pub dans les pages web que je consulte.
Après un premier scan et nettoyage il me semblait que tout était rentré dans l'ordre, et puis non, il revient, toujours et encore, et n'est plus détecté maintenant. Je ne comprends pas le mécanisme qui lui permet de refaire surface malgré une suppression que je croyais définitive (scan, nettoyage, ccleaner par dessus, autres tentatives avec malwarebytes, mais sans succès, effacé dans la foulée, tentative manuelle de le supprimer, rien n'y fait, il revient à chaque fois après quelques minutes de navigation) - est-ce que la future version 4, dont on parle tant dans les commentaires, pourra y remédier après sa re-publication ? y'a-t-il quelque chose de spécial à faire ? - pour info je suis sous seven et j'utilise chrome pour le web -
Since adwcleaner has been updated to 4.0+, I've been having trouble with getting disconnect via Log Me in Rescue in SMWN.
It scans and completes ok, but disconnects when the dialog box regarding "If you have been brought to use adwcleaner.....".
It doesn't happen on every PC, but more of them then not (75%) and it's really causing hiccups in my support. Can this be looked into.
Furthermore, are there any command line switches available for adwcleaner. I'd like to be able to launch it, have it scan, and reboot with no user interaction whatsover.
Let me know on either issue. Thanks!
No One
I really love AdwCleaner, you have done a fantastic job. I have a question: i wan't to execute this program on a remote computer in my LAN, is there a way to run it for automatic scan and automatic clean?
Thanks.
I Always use RKILL before i run ADWCleaner. Suddenly , since today, update (30-09-2014) it doesn't remove any spyware anymore. When the scan is finished, and i delete the files, i reboot. Then, when windows boots up, The annoying "scripting" ads are still there in Internet Explorer.
How do I know if it is actually scanning? The gray bar at the top, below the header, does nothing.
Bonjour,
