@ThosThos,

I'm using XP, and AdwCleaner has never detected any adware or malware on my computer other than one or two orphan registry entries. How many did AdwCleaner detect on your Windows 7 computer? Oh yeah, 140.... There's a lot more to computing than having the very latest... ;)

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

Les Explico Como Usarlo:

En La Lista Debe Decir Escanear, Limpiar, Reporte y Desinstalar, Solamente Se Puede Seleccionar Escanear, Cuando El Escaneo Esté Completo Se Desbloquearán Otras Opciones, La Que Más Sirve Es Limpiar. AdwCleaner Pedirá Reiniciar El Computador, Cuando Se Vuelva A Prender Saldrá Una Lista De Lo Que Hiciste Y Lo Que Se Borró, Luego Tu Computador Quedará Limpio

Can you please include screenconnect in your ignored processes? Just recently adwcleaner started targeting screen connect for removal. This is one of the most popular remote connection utilities out there so you should be able to ignore it. Their site is screenconnect.com.

Also, I'm surprised so many people are using XP still. I can understand using it on an isolated production system, but for everyone else, I think it's time to move on.

I had to make an account just to thank you for this amazing program.
I had something crazy going on on my computer that installed priceechopp and savemaass as extensions on chrome every time I opened it - making ads pop up everywhere...
I tried going through my installed programs list and deleting things (I found scary things with tricky names that looked normal in there too) but nothing helped
I read forums and forums about people who had the same problem as me and were installing all these programs with none of them helping
Finally someone said that this helped so I tried it
It was so fast, and so weird to see the notepad open with all of these scary files that were deleted - I would have never thought to look for them in those locations

Anyways thank you sooo much.
And for anyone who wants to get rid of pricechopp, this is the only thing I've heard of that actually works.

Bonjour,
Nouveau problème de AdwCleaner version 4.101
Concerne les clés de registre appartenant à Norton Ghost 15
Ci-dessous le copié collé de ce que trouvait AdwCleaner version 4 précédente

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\0FF2AEFF45EEA0A48A4B33C1973B6094]
"3475520BB5615DB4D88A73FD9B390051"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Norton Ghost\\Agent\\msvcr71.dll"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\305B09CE8C53A214DB58887F62F25536]
"3475520BB5615DB4D88A73FD9B390051"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Norton Ghost\\msvcp71.dll"

Depuis la version AdwCleaner 4.101, il ne fait plus référence qu'à la clé 0FF2AEFF45EEA0A48A4B33C1973B6094

Autoriser le nettoyage oblige à la désinstallation complète de Norton Ghost et de toutes ses valeurs dans le registre afin de pouvoir le réinstaller à neuf.
Autant dire, la galère...

Merci d'apporter une solution

Bonsoir,
J'ai installé la version 4.101 im'a trouvé dans le registre les clés suivantes:
Clé Présente : [x64] HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\3152E1F19977892449DC968802CE8964
Clé Présente : [x64] HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\649A52D257CA5DB4EAAE8BA9EB23E467
J'ai un gros doute sur ses 2 clés. Je n'ai donc pas nettoyé; Pouvez-vous me confirmer qu'il ne s'agit pas de faux-positifs.
Merci

This tool helped me get rid of the "Ads by Speed Dial" in Chrome. I was becoming desperate because no tool could get rid of it, Malwarebytes, Spybot, none. manual removal process described on various websites could not be replicated. I was really becoming desperate, I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome, to no avail. I came across one article on a German website, and a poster recommended this tool. I gave it a try and it really worked!!! I am now free of "Ads by Speed Dial". THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL TOOL!!!
