    @1PW Thanks for the update, I'm trying it now. Sadly, despite the major updates it still has the same terrible (in my opinion) user interface.

    @1PW The problem is that only the detected files and registry keys are shown, and the not the actual names of the adware of unwanted programs. This makes the program close to useless if you actually want to keep some of the items detected (but a very useful if you want to delete everything detected), as there is no way of telling (apart from Googling) what program some of the detected registry keys belong to.

    I doubt Xplode will change the program since that's how its always been. I find it really useful to cleanup customers computers, but won't use it on mine for the reason stated.

    When I expand the GUI width, Chrome tab remains hidden and I have to user right arrow button to see it.
    In 4.x versions it was automatically stretched and shown.

    Bug or by design?

    Hello Brummelchen:

    As was pointed out elsewhere, that .xpi filename is related to the "Easy YouTube Video Downloader Express" Firefox add-on.

    Since AdwCleaner's current release has been updated five (5) times since v5.008 and is now v5.013, you may wish to rerun with the latest AdwCleaner release and if that .xpi file is still a positive, please consider reporting that fact to the developer (Xplode) for further investigation.

    Thank you.
