AdwCleaner

Are you tired of the annoying toolbars and other junk that comes into your system when you install free software? Are you tired of having to deal with the fact that after installing a new utility on your computer, the home page changes in your browser and there is a scattering of unnecessary additions? Then a utility called AdwCleaner was created specifically for you. One of its advantages is its portability. No installation required - just download and run.

The program has a very simple interface. Click on the "Scan Now" button to start the analysis of the system, and after the scan choose which found adware and potentially unwanted programs to quarantine. AdwCleaner keeps detailed log files of every scan and cleaning, and quarantined items can be restored if needed. Basic repair actions can also reset proxy, Winsock, firewall and browser policy settings. The only drawback of the application is that cleaning closes running programs and may require a restart. Otherwise, we have before us a fairly fast and, importantly, free tool from Malwarebytes that will get rid of adware, browser hijackers and preinstalled bloatware in a few minutes.

AdwCleaner quickly removes unwanted toolbars, adware and browser hijackers and restores the browser settings they changed.
