AdwCleaner is free software that detects and removes Adware from your Windows PC.

Adware is the name given to programs installed on a PC to show advertising while surfing the Internet, reading emails, or using the computer normally. These adware programs are usually quite annoying and prevent you from using the PC normally. For example, search bars are installed when you start your favorite browser. They always appear when you search, giving results that have nothing to do with what you have searched for or inserting intrusive advertising in search results.

These adware programs can be installed in the Windows registry, folder on your PC, or in the browser when you run your PC; therefore, many times, the manual removal of adware becomes complex.

AdwCleaner emerges as a great solution to detect and remove adware. This software is developed and supported by Malwarebytes, one of the most important companies in detecting and removing spyware, adware, malware, etc.

Once you download the program, execute the file since it does not require installation.
The main screen is very simple and consists of three main buttons.
To start using the program, click on "Scan," and the software will begin to analyze your PC in search of adware residents. When the scan is complete, a summary of the detected threats will be displayed. These threats are classified into several groups according to where they are found: Folders, Files, Registry, Chrome, etc.
This classification will help you to get an idea of where the adware has been installed and how it could get there. For example, if AdwCleaner has detected adware in the Chrome extensions, you need to review where you have downloaded those extensions, so you cannot trust that download site anymore.

When you press the button "Clean,” removing the adware detected will begin. Remember that there will be the adware that cannot be deleted without restarting the PC before, so the program may ask you to restart your computer to remove all detected adware.

Once the adware is removed, a report with all the actions performed will be displayed. This report can be seen anytime by pressing the "Registry."

As mentioned above, the interface is very simple to use. It is also translated into many languages, making AdwCleaner a perfect program for detecting and removing adware since it is simple, requires no installation, and is free.

We must bear in mind that this software is focused solely on the detection and removal of adware and does not address other threats such as spyware, virus, rootkits, etc. Therefore, you can't rely solely on this software to keep your PC free of these annoying programs. This software is essential to ensure your PC is as clean as possible.
