Naturally, any user who spends a lot of time surfing the Internet knows firsthand how annoying annoying advertising is, installing some strange panels in the browser, increasingly slowing connection speeds, etc. Now we will look at one of the most interesting utilities called AdwCleaner. What kind of program this is and how to use it will be described in the review. In addition, everyone will be able to draw their own conclusions regarding the advisability of using this

AdwCleaner: what is it?

If you understand what a small utility AdwCleaner is, it can be briefly described as a tool for blocking ads and removing spyware or potentially unwanted programs installed either in an Internet browser or in the operating system itself, say, for the subsequent theft of personal data and information.

To prevent such situations from occurring, the AdwCleaner application is used. Reviews about the program look very encouraging. Let's see what this is connected with.

Advantages of the portable version

First of all, when analyzing, for example, the topic: “AdwCleaner: how to use the program?”, it is worth saying that the utility is available in a portable version (Portable). What is it? It's simple. There is no need to install it on the system. It is enough to simply place, say, the unpacked folder with the program in any location convenient for the user on the hard drive or logical partition, and then use the executable EXE file to launch.

However, along the way, it must be said that the first time you launch the AdwCleaner program (reviews confirm this), it creates its own quarantine folder on the hard drive, where all dangerous, suspicious or unwanted objects (files and folders) are placed in the system, and also sets the storage location reports and backups.

In addition, when using the portable version, there will never be any problems associated with deleting the application from the system, much less residual files, registry entries, etc. It is enough to simply delete the program folder itself (naturally, along with the quarantine folder) - and, as they say, it's all in the bag. Yes, and while using the application you do not need to install any additional components or platforms like Microsoft. NET Framework as is done for most software products such a plan with complete installation and, so to speak, implementation into the system.

Interface

As for the interface, let's look at it using the version of the AdwCleaner 4.1 program, reviews of which are most often found on the Internet. It is so simple that even a child can handle it.

The main window contains several main fields. At the top there is a standard menu bar with basic action commands and a help system, and just below there is a window with the application logo. About a third of the entire working space is allocated to him, although it is somewhat unclear why so much.

Next comes a line of progress for one or another action being performed at the moment, and a little lower - the buttons for the main manipulations. The rest of the space is occupied by the results display window, and it is divided into several tabs in which the detected threats may be located: services, folders, files, shortcuts, the registry and several browser tabs detected in the system.

The AdwCleaner program is mainly used for browsers. Reviews, naturally, say that most threats and advertising garbage penetrate the system through them, and additional unnecessary panels and add-ons are installed there, which only then can generate their keys in system registry, change browsers' home pages on startup, etc.

AdwCleaner: how to use?

As for use, everything is simple and clear. When you first launch the program, it independently searches for all suspicious objects, and then issues a detailed report. During subsequent launches, scanning (analysis) will need to be started manually.

Let's move on. The scan is completed and the user has received the results. Now the user has two tools at his disposal that can be used at will. They are presented in the form of “Delete” buttons, in earlier versions these are the “Clean” and “Uninstall” buttons. The difference between these two processes is that when using the first button, the object(s) are quarantined, from which data can be restored in case of erroneous deletion before the system is rebooted.

The second button is designed to completely delete all objects of the program itself without the possibility of recovery, including the main directory of the program, as well as the quarantine, reports and backup folders created by it.

One more point: it is important to know that before launching the utility, you must close absolutely all currently active applications and programs, even closing some services “hanging” in the system tray.

Recovering accidentally deleted objects

An interesting feature of the application is the ability to restore accidentally deleted objects. Unlike most other utilities of this nature, the AdwCleaner package is equipped with such a tool. User reviews universally say that the recovery process is completely simple and does not cause any difficulties or problems for anyone.

The only thing worth paying attention to are three types of warnings. The first message suggests saving the results of the current scan, the second concerns recommendations on how to avoid encountering similar threats in the future, and the third signals an upcoming Windows reboot.

Let's make a reservation right away: if the user agrees to the reboot proposal, it will be impossible to cancel the removal of potentially dangerous or unwanted objects.

Restart Windows and completely remove objects

Like many other programs of this kind, the AdwCleaner application completely removes threats only when the system is restarted, after which a report is displayed on the screen about all detected objects, their locations on hard drives or in logical partitions, as well as about all files that were missed during scanning for some reason. For example, it could be system services, access to which is limited by the Windows OS itself.

On the other hand, the program automatically generates backup copies, with the help of which you can then restore deleted objects, using the so-called “Quarantine Manager”.

Advantages and disadvantages

As for the advantages, they are, so to speak, the main “trick” of the AdwCleaner program. Reviews from the user community indicate that the application is very stable and uses a minimum of system resources. In addition, in some cases the application even finds threats that famous software packages such as iObit Uninstaller versions 3 and 4 miss.

It goes without saying that what is used plays an important role portable version, does not require installation, small size, the ability to restore data from backups and, of course, simplicity and ease of use.

According to most users, this unique application simply has no disadvantages.
