AdwareCleaner
AdwareCleaner is a utility application designed to detect and remove adware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and other unwanted software from Mac computers. The app scans the system for suspicious applications, browser extensions, and files that may have been installed without the user's knowledge or consent. It's typically used by Mac users who notice unusual browser behavior, pop-up ads, or performance issues that may be caused by adware infections. The application provides a straightforward interface for running system scans and cleaning detected threats.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the available information, AdwareCleaner (version 1.2) from MoonApps appears to be abandoned or no longer actively maintained, as there are no recent updates or official sources found. For adware removal on Apple Silicon Macs, I recommend switching to Malwarebytes for Mac, which offers comprehensive adware and malware protection with native Apple Silicon support. Malwarebytes provides real-time protection, scheduled scans, and regular updates to combat the latest threats. While it's a more comprehensive security solution than AdwareCleaner, it effectively handles adware removal along with broader malware protection.
