Malwarebytes AdwCleaner 8.4.2

AdwCleaner is a free anti-adware tool for Windows that will scan your computer and efficiently remove obnoxious programs that slow and impede your computer’s performance. Using innovative technology, it’s able to detect Adware (ads software), PUP/LPI (Potentially Unwanted Programs), Intrusive Toolbars, Hijacker (Hijack of the browser’s homepage) and other junkware. It also features an anti-adware host that will help prevent advertising software from installing on your machine.

A common tactic among freeware publishers is to offer their products for free, but bundle them with adware and PUPs in order to earn revenue. This tool, suitable for both home users and technicians, will help you remove these types of programs. For example, it supports removing: Ask Toolbar, Babylon, browser manager, Claro / iSearch, Conduit, Coupon Printer for Windows, Crossrider, DealPly, Facemoods / Funmoods, iLivid, Iminent, IncrediBar, MyWebSearch, Searchqu, and Web Assistant and more.
