AdwCleaner: No feedback - what to do?

In this practical tip, we explain what to do if the AdwCleaner stops giving feedback during the scan process.

AdwCleaner does not give any feedback - you can do that

AdwCleaner is a useful tool to check your PC for viruses and malware. Unfortunately he gets stuck from time to time and gives "No feedback". You should therefore note the following before a virus scan:

• Switch off all background programs during the check. This ensures that there are no errors and AdwCleaner performs the scan properly and quickly.
• It is therefore best to let the AdwCleaner run after restarting the PC, because few processes are still running here.
• It is best to check with the task manager whether background processes are actually still running. You can read how this works in this practical tip.
• Also turn off your firewall during the scan. But don't forget to reactivate it afterwards.
• If the AdwCleaner gets stuck, you should be patient at first. Sometimes the program stabilizes again after a while. It is best to run the scan when you are not using the PC: for example at night.
• If all measures do not work, you can also switch to an alternative scanner.
