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.

False positives (it's a legitimate VPN extension):
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Hola
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\Extensions\ncffjdbbodifgldkcbhmiiljfcbgjag

If I remember correctly there's also a false positive for the Hola Unblocker Firefox add-on. However, the Firefox add-on stopped working for me - possibly due to AdwCleaner cleaning away files needed for it to work - and re-installing it doesn't help, so I can't submit a report for that add-on. The add-on can be installed from here if anyone wants to have a look at it: http://hola.org/

The following entries are false positives:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\ProgSense (included with some software to look for updates - nothing malicious or deceiving)

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Simple Adblock (adblocker now known as Adblock Plus knowingly installed by user for Internet Explorer)

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Hola (knowingly installed by user)

HKCU\Software\ProgSense (included with some software to look for updates - nothing malicious or deceiving)

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{459DD0F7-0D55-D3DC-67BC-E6BE37E9D762} (belongs to ZoomBrowser EX, a Canon camera utility)

The following are proxy settings knowingly added by user:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings [ProxyEnable] - 1

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings [ProxyOverride] - *.local

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings [ProxyServer] - socks=localhost:1234

Thanks in advance for correcting the issue.

Merci pour ce logiciel miracle. Il a déjà débloqué des situations désespérées chez des personnes (amis, famille) que j'ai dépannées.

Une question: la dernière version (adwcleaner_4.110) signale "Everything", logiciel de recherche hyper-efficace et absolument indispensable que j'utilise en permanence depuis longtemps, comme élément à supprimer.
Pourquoi donc ?

@marie54 Vous pouvez toujours désactiver la protection résidente d'Avast pendant l'utilisation d'AdwCleaner. Sinon, d'ici quelques jours, vous devriez pouvoir télécharger cette version. Les versions récentes d'AdwCleaner sont très souvent détectées à tort pendant quelques temps après la mise en ligne de celles-ci.

Falls es interessiert: Avast Free! erkennt AdwCleaner mal wieder als verdächtig und bezeichnet ihn als Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]

please read "with starting the scan" as "without starting the scan"! In the mean time I tried to do System Restore but that made the computer with even more problems, so I have to roll back to the state left by AdwCleaner.
