  • Found 9 adware infections on a brand new iMac Had a nasty pop up while using chrome browser and had to force quit to get out of it. Downloaded adware zap and it found nine adware issues. /best-new-free-apps-for-mac.html. This is a one week old iMAC!

  • This is an awesome app! I didn’t know anything about this app unitl I had downloaded Weather Dock, the free version. This app popped up when I was asked to review the weather app. I decided to check out Adware Zap, read the reviews and thought it would be a good idea to download. I’m happy I did. The app found 30 adware extensions and most of them were from MacKeeper which I had deleted a few months ago after installing a different security app for my Mac. it found daemon extensions that I didnt even know where on my computer! Strong work! Great adware detection, I couldn’t be happier.

  • My Mac had been glitchy for a few months. Browser windows kept on randomly opening and it was getting pretty annoying. Smoovie app for mac. I downloaded MacKeeper but like all the rest of them, they just tell you there’s a million issues to fix and the demo version only covers a few. so please pay $100+ for the rest. I did a little research and came across AdwareZap and I’m so happy with it! No more pop up windows, my computer is working faster and I’m not worried about it randomly crashing anymore 🙂

  • Great I have tried many adware cleaners including Thor. This is the first one to get rid of launch daemons and opt buy virus. Thor didn’t even show a virus for these 2 when this adware zap did. I had a problem clearing them until I clicked on the search icon which showed the corrupted folders which I then moved to the trash. Don’t download mac cleaners I think they caused the problem

Don’t be fooled by fake adware cleaners that are often the worst adware themselves.
