I posted this before, but nothing has changed. I have not been able to use AdwCleaner since the update to 4.2. All three of my computers hang up on "cleaning web browsers" and must be shut down the hard way: by pushing the button. There is no other way to get the computer to shut down AdwCleaner. I used to be able to run it in a few minutes, and it got rid of everything my other scanners don't catch. Now I can't use it at all. Please fix!

Bonjour,
malheureusement comme beaucoup d'utilisateur de AdwCleaner, après suppression et nettoyage, il y a certaine clefs de registre et autre qui se réinstallent après redémarrage, même après avoir suivis quelques tutos glanés par-ci par-là et check-up via anti-virus et autre anti-malware, ou en désinstallant internet explorer ça persiste....

Est ce que c'est normal ? faux positif ? pourriez vous me donner la démarche à suivre s'il y en a une pour virer ça, ça serait cool :) et si vous avez des questions sur le système ou autre n’hésitez pas.
merci d'avance pour tous vos efforts et bon courage à vous et à toute l'équipe.

I love the software, but it doesn't seem to get rid of the Positive Finds or Buzzdock adware viruses. Then again neither do any of the other scanners out there... Can you please help?

@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.

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.
