Hi guys,

 

I installed the other 'some' tool and while installig this other tool my windows 7 box got infected with

'lavasoft web companion'

obivouly my first weapon of choice was to pick up a new vesion of adwcleaner.

 However the currenct version 7.0.4.0 seems of have problems removing the above named spyware.

However I partialy managed to remove some elements of lavasoft web companion.

by runing malwarebytes.

however adwcleaner still detects some fragments of and fails to complety remove the above named pest item.

Please let me how to upload my log file to you guys and if need any other information.

 

Thx, user4747

Re: lavasoft web companion

Thanks for the scan logfile.

Can you then click on "Clean", let AdwCleaner do his work, and then please share the generated logfile after reboot?

Regards.

Re: lavasoft web companion

When I tried to do this yeasterday Adw crashed or freezed on me and I ended up with a error msg.

I guess I can reproduce the error msg and take a screen shot.

Re: lavasoft web companion

OK, this issue is known and will be fixed in the upcoming 7.1 version.

In the meantime, we can try to use AdwCleaner in Safe Mode. It works sometimes.

Here is how you can boot Windows 7 in Safe Mode : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/

Then, just launch AdwCleaner again and do a scan/clean.

Re: lavasoft web companion

I just tried to run AdwCleaner in Safe Mode unfortonately run AdwCleaner crashed again and produced the same error msg.

Looking forward to the next version of AdwCleaner. Hopefully this will resolve this issuse.
