    Anybody else seeing this software dorking up their browsers after using it. It's don't on Chrome/FF and Opera.

    Example: After running it the software, then going to FB and just scrolling through the daily posts....I come to "TweakTown" posts and when I click on them the page loads instantly then it seems to reload 2 more times (instantaly) but this time the page spacing is dorked up. By that I mean where and ad was is not gone and the spacing between the add and the next line of text is like 10 empty lines. It's so weird.....and like I said...it happens on all browsers after running it.

    I have to uninstall browsers and reinstall....PITA!

    Haven't seen that. However, I haven't run AdwCleaner recently.

    AdwCleaner produces a log file detailing what it's done. If memory serves right they are in C:\AdwCleaner. Take a look.

    Before you click on the 'Cleaning' button, you can deselect an item so that it's not removed.
    Do you know what is being removed that causes this?

    Here's the log file.....as you can see....nothing. Well as far as I can tell nothing has been removed. Oddly enough I've only recently started noticing this behavior....time frame is about 2 months.

    That is odd.
    I've checked the AdwCleaner submissions thread and there's no mention of this behavior.

    Btw:
    Xplode has just retired from AdwCleaner development, but the tool will still be updated by friends at Toolslib.

    @bassfisher6522 have you check the previous Adwcleaner logs to see if they shed any light on this. If they are still there. Have you checked the system logs to see if they have shed any light on it?
