Je confirme :
La suppression du dossier "C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\***.default\Extensions\{3b56bcc7-54e5-44a2-9b44-66c3ef58c13e}" enlève le module de Firefox HTML Validator et la supression du dossier "C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna" "casse" sans enlever le module de Chrome New Tab Redirect.
Ça se corrige facilement, mais ce n'est pas très propre pour ce petit utilitaire sympathique.

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/

Salut à vous,
J'ai actuellement constaté une chose étrange sur AdwCleaner 4.106:
il me détecte le dossier qui contient Adblock comme malveillant:
C:\Users\nom\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom
Suis-je le seul ?

There are two wrong definitions in the database, please correct that.

***** [ Files / Folders ] *****
Folder Found : C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ct1cmlj.default\Extensions\{4cc4a13b-94a6-7568-370d-5f9de54a9c7f}
Folder Found : C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ct1cmlj.default\Extensions\{b9db16a4-6edc-47ec-a1f4-b86292ed211d}

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!

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,

tout comme DominicDesbiens, j'ai créé ce compte pour vous remercier du travail accomplis, pour la version 4 je m'en suis servi sur plusieurs postes sans problèmes particuliers, je regarde chaque onglet à la loupe, et au niveau des navigateurs je fais bien attentions aux extensions supprimées.
Encore merci et continuez comme ça !!
Je pense au don en fin d'année ;-)

False alarm:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\fhkmpddbiciimgibbkmimhfognpknmeo
It is absolutely legal extension of the store
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-as-mhtml/fhkmpddbiciimgibbkmimhfognpknmeo


C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mail.Ru
In this folder, I have installed "Cloud Mail.ru", it need not be removed, it is completely legal and no it does not apply to advertising
https://cloud.mail.ru/

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Mail.Ru
And in that folder I have is a shortcut to the legal application "Cloud Mail.ru"
https://cloud.mail.ru/

I found AdwCleaner to be awesome, thank you very much! But I also found that even after running it, if I reinstalled Chrome, the speedial redirect would be reinstalled.

I found the speedial browser redirect also inserts a key into the Windows registry that causes Chrome to reinstall speedial whenever Chrome is reinstalled itself.

Details here:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions

The key on my Win 7 / 64 machine is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions\bakijjialdiiboeaknfpmflphhmljfkd
