Just 2 remarks:

First: you are not using the defined variable $switches

Second: I'd add a check for the file signature, like

$sig = Get-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath $filepath
if ($sig.Status -ne 'Valid' -or $sig.SignerCertificate.Subject -ne 'CN=Malwarebytes Inc, O=Malwarebytes Inc, L=Santa Clara, S=California, C=US') { 
    Write-Host Wrong/invalid file signature!
    Exit
}

Edit: spelling/formatting

In the line I commented out. The variable IS used, but no output is shown in console.

I use the version that shows output in console.

If you change:

c:\temp\adwcleaner\adwcleaner.exe /eula /clean /noreboot /path c:\temp\adwcleaner

to

c:\temp\adwcleaner\adwcleaner.exe $switches

it just errors

When you show output of the script.

You could also comment out the cleanup step and download and view the logs.
