When trouble shooting computers I have a pen drive that I always keep handy that's filled with a range of application that help in fighting spam, spyware, and virus' I also have a subset of tools for disk cleanup and fragmentation, and registry cleaners. Often times over the years I have added tools and removed tools as they become outdated or a newer better tool become available.

I started using a new tool and although very good still has some features I would like to see and enhancements to the GUI I would like to see implemented. AdwCleaner is a small utility that scans and removes Adware, Toolbars, PUP (Potentially Unwanted Programs), Hijackers, and more. its light weight and would be a grate addition to a tech support tool belt.

Simply download and run, select search and once the scan is completed it displays a result windows with possible infections and gives the user an option to delete. Once AdwCleaner finished it asks to reboot to finalize the removal process. At this point save all open files and close all windows prior to clicking the restart button.

This tool can be a valued asset when used as a secondary solution to more industry known anti spyware software like Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D among others.
