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 have just installed and ran it but after I selected all folders, files and registry files to clean it restarted what I saw is Radsteroidsis stiil there in my all programme and showing unwanted add in chrome, please help, does any body have any solution for Radsteroids?
Bonjour.
Puis je vous signaler un logiciel maintenant ancien (WebExpert que je juge bon par ailleurs) mais toujours affecté d'une Toolbar :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: PowerSearch Toolbar
Type: Adware
Description:
Shows advertisements and banners independently of user activity.
Registry Keys:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-507921405-1563985344-1801674531-1003\software\Visicom Media
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nota: La Toolbar peut être désinstallée si on en a conscience mais, la clé reste et est toujours infectante, ..... je crois.
Bien cordialement
Hello everyone!
AdwCleaner's change log shows versions 4.000 and 4.001. However, I cannot find their download links (pages). I was wondering what have happened to the latest version 4.001. Thank you.
I have a BIG issue with this software! It removes my Accounting software (NCH Express Accounts & NCH Express Invoicing) even when I am not running the application (adwclean). As soon as I restore the software from the Quarantine Manager, it quarantines it again. I know my accounts software is okay, and without an exclude option, I risk losing this software and all backups of it (even from a USB, as the moment I write the Accounts software to USB, it removes it from there as well. I am NOT running adwclean when this happens. It does NOT show up in processes or services either. A folder exclude is needed as a matter of urgency.
When I try to download adw and asked to click run it does not show up on my surface.
I have found that a reading of AdwCleaner[0] gives a better result than many other settings. The AdwCleaner *Quarantined* items are showing in other Antivirus scans at times. For this reason when helping others I ask them to Uninstall their version and install a Fresh copy after about 3 scans. Is this useless, or can this be a good idea ??
Hello, my adwCleaner is showing Error Line 3281 "Error: Array variable has incorrect of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded." This message appears every time when I examine the system. Already uninstalled and installed it several times and it does not.
Here is a log showing what was found on a PC that I had it crash on.
