Advice Request AdwCleaner vs Malwarebytes Free - Know the difference

[Ink]

AdwCleaner is still the best for Adware removal over Malwarebytes Free.

I can continue to recommend the use of AdwCleaner as long as Malwarebytes does not integrate with the Malwarebytes software.

Anyone remember Junkware Removal Tool? Did that get integrated somewhere?

AdwCleaner detected a Conduit in my Edge that Malwarebytes never did. I was surprised that Conduit is still a thing, it was something that used to install toolbars.
