AdwCleaner CLI - From Blog post

on AdwCleaner by ****

Hi All,

There was a blog post back in July (https://toolslib.net/blog/viewpost/2015/07/10/18-adwcleaner-v5000/) about AdwCleaner getting/having a CLI in v5.

We cannot find any links, hints, posts, or anything else about it.

Does it actually exist, and if so, where is it?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Autoit error

Hi,

 

The only case where AdwCleaner could not create a debug logfile is when it crashes before it starts. If it starts and the user can run at least a scan, there will be 100% a debug logfile created ( make sure that the user checked the option "Activate debug mode" ).

After the scan has finished, the user should press the Cleaning button as well until the Error appears again. After closing...

Re: Ad Choices

I did find something called Adblock Plus as seen at https://adblockplus.org/

BUT I had rather clean and get rid of them entirely instead of blocking them if that is possible? 

Ad Choices

Sorry, if this is duplicated, newbie here and I did a search for Ad Choices in Chrome removal and didn't find a resolution...I downloaded AdWCleaner (latest download  here) but didn't remove Ad Choices from Chrome.......

 

Can anyone please offer some direction or help to remove Ad Choices?

Re: ADW cleaner does not appear to have downloaded properly

Greetings davidk,

AdwCleaner is a portable software. This means that no installation is required in order to use it. You just have to launch the previously downloaded executable that you can find on this page : https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

If you don't understand something, here is the english documentation : https://toolslib.net/forum/viewthread/182-en-adwcleaner...

in particular i wanted to raise awareness about some firefox adware/malware which is showing up rather frequently as an addon with a randomized id and name which hides itself from the addons manager which is going undetected at the moment.

you can find some samples of the amlicious addon's .xpi file attached at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1161259

Re: ADWCleaner deleted a folder it shouldn't

on AdwCleaner by ****

I would highly recommend a few improvements that would have prevented or minimized the difficulties I experienced.

1. Display the Log File after the Scan is done, so that it's more obvious what was found before Cleaning starts. My Scan didn't find any "Services" to clean so my GUI didn't change. Even if a display had appeared to indicate I should check all tabs before Cleaning, I might have av...

Re: ADWCleaner deleted a folder it shouldn't

Hmm, okay so it sounded so simple.

Where can I find the Log File? That option is greyed out when I load ADWCleaner.

Also, I can't seem to copy lines from Quarantine. I can highlight lines individually, and I click on "ALL" lines, but can't seem to copy them.

And, FYI, there are thousands of individual files in Quarantine now. If I could restore the whole folder, it would be fast, but copying...
