David FischerIf you do not pay attention during the installation or if you tried the wrong tool and it happened: you accidentally installed a toolbar and the settings on your favorite browser were changed. The removal of such malware is not only time-consuming, but also extremely annoying, because the creators use all the tricks to keep the nerve tools on your system. In such cases, AdwCleaner is a good choice.
AdwCleaner can also examine pre-installed software on new devices and remove it if desired. Manufacturers often pack numerous advertising apps on new Windows computers that only consume system resources unnecessarily. With the help of AdwCleaner, you can now get rid of these.
Version 8.0.1 of the program has now been released. The official changelog can be found here. The old systems Windows XP and Vista are no longer supported. The latest version of Chrome is supported and now also the Firefox module has been re-implement, which was missing in version 8.0.
To start a detection run, simply click on "Scan now". At the end you can see the degree of contamination on your computer. If the analysis of your system shows something, move the annoying software to quarantine with a click of the mouse. After a restart, your computer is freed from these problems.
