adware and spyware

CCleaner for Windows
1

Does CCleaner find and remove adware and (or) spyware?

2

I am afraid CCleaner is not a spyware/ adware remover.

Are you having problems in that area?

Not really....I was just wondering. I have Bit-Defender on my machine and it doesn't like

AdAware or Spybot so if I want to run those I have to disable BitDefender, install AdAware,

run it and then uninstall it and enable BitDefender. (Pain in the butt.)

Thanks

The question is does Ad-Aware or Spybot S&D find anything to remove other than tracking cookies?

If they find adware or spyware then you need to block them with the HOSTS file, Windows Defender and WinPatrol.

HOSTS files I use:
