While browsing online, you might end up having to deal with pop-up ads that don’t want to disappear or adware components that tampered the original browser configuration.

Adware Sweeper (formerly Adware Shield) is a small yet efficient macOS tool that can help you remove all these annoyances and revert the browser to the initial state with a simple mouse click.

The Adware Sweeper application can work with three of the most popular web browsers available on the Mac platform: Safari, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. If there are any other browsers deployed on your system, Adware Shield does not seem to notice them.

Note that the app can detect if any of the supported browsers are currently running, and advises you to close them down for the cleaning process to run smoothly. Moreover, Adware Sweeper assigns an On/Off button to each browser so that you can apply the cleaning algorithms only on some of them.

On the other hand, Adware Sweeper also comes with an extra “Remove all browser Extensions” function that makes sure to clean everything.

Take into account that Adware Sweeper wipes the browsers clean without asking you if you want to keep any of the installed extensions. This means that together with the configurations or pop-ups that trouble you, all other settings will also be wiped clean.

Once you decide to go through with the process, everything runs quite smoothly. Adware Sweeper allows you to monitor the progress in real time, displays confirmation messages and helps you contact the developer if you are still having issues.

Adware Sweeper brings a quite simple resolve to your browser problems by removing any component that might be the source of your trouble.

In short, Adware Sweeper will get rid of annoying pop-ups and extensions that modify the default browser behavior with just a few mouse clicks.
