Hello,

Thanks.

Relaunch AdwCleaner, and in the Options menu, be sure "Activate the debug mode" and "Reset Chrome preferences" are both checked.

Then, click on "Cleaning". If there is a BSOD, just reboot.

You'll then have a logfile in C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_dbg_xxxxxx.log, please share it as above.

Best regards,

OK Here it is:

Hello,

In v5.000, "Internet Explorer" tab had been removed because IE settings are stored in the registry, therefore keys are now listed under "Registry" tab.

In v5.111, "Chrome" tab had been removed because now there is an option "Reset Chrome preferences". Prior to this version, you should manually select entries that you wanted to remove inside Chrome preferences files, and this was not as...

As i do everyday, today I scanned my computer with Adwcleaner after updating the 5.111 version to the 5.112 version, as the sftware advised me to do.

When the scan was finished (telling me no malicious software had been found on my computer), I was shocked to find out there no longer was a Chrome thumbsmark and therefore presumably my Google Chrome browser hadn't be scanned. It happens to be m...

Hello,

The documentation is also available here : https://toolslib.net/forum/viewthread/182-en-adwcleaner-documentation/

Hello,

Information regarding modification throughout new versions are written in the changelog which can be consulted on AdwCleaner's download page. 

This option is now disabled by default.

Hello,

This is not a bug. Since v5.111, AdwCleaner has a new option called "Reset Chrome preferences" which effectively reset all chrome preferences. You can deactivate this option by unchecking it under "Options" menu.

This is stupid since most people have chrome customized to their preferences and don't want to do it all over again just because...

Bonjour,

Depuis la v5.111, AdwCleaner n'effectue plus de recherche dans le fichier de préférences de Chrome. A la place, une option "Réinitialiser les préférences Chrome" est disponible et celle-ci effectue le nettoyage des préférences.

L'option a été ajoutée car la précédente méthode de nettoyage ne fonctionnait pas correctement.

Cordialement,
