AdwCleaner is now part of the Malwarebytes family. We at Malwarebytes are big fans too. That’s why we’ve asked Jerome Boursier, Corentin Chepeau, and the rest of the AdwCleaner team to join us. We’re now working together to make a malware-free existence a reality for everyone.

Don’t worry–we will maintain, support, and keep AdwCleaner free for everyone. We believe in its mission, and will be integrating its technology into Malwarebytes products in the future. Learn more about the acquisition.
