ADWCleaner_Clean_Computer

Run ADWCleaner (MalwareBytes) to remove any Malware or PUPs from the system. Part of weekly maitenance.

ADWCleaner_Clean_Computer

This requires a more legal going over, but the MalwareBytes TechBench program allows for free usage of some MalwareBytes software which includes ADWCleaner. The program requirements state “Techbench is limited to computer services business (aka tech shops) with 10 or less technicians that service external consumer or business end user devices”. I believe that MSPs with 10 or less technicians fit in this description. You can read more on the TechBench website and check out the Program Guide. This component downloads the latest ADWCleaner executable, and runs it automatically cleaning anything it finds, exports the results to the component results. Reboots are not forced. https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner

This component downloads the latest ADWCleaner and runs it with /eula /clean /noreboot switches. The Component then checks for a log file, if found it prints the contents to standard out. The log file will contain a list of everything found and removed. The component then cleans up the old log files and exits.
