Description

AdwCleaner is a free security and privacy application developed by Malwarebytes. It is designed to remove adware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), toolbar hijackers, and other malicious software from your computer. AdwCleaner scans the computer for known adware and other malicious programs, and then gives you the option to delete them. It also offers a quarantine function, where it can store the suspicious items for further analysis and cleaning. In addition, AdwCleaner can also reset web browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, and IE, to their default settings, helping to repair any damage caused by malicious software.
