The new version is detecting this Registry Key:
Key Found : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{196BB40D-1578-3D01-B289-BEFC77A11A1E}

And according with the Google "{196BB40D-1578-3D01-B289-BEFC77A11A1E}" is the product code of Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).

I don't know if it should detect this registry key.

For some reason after the last update it's detecting 2 Registry entries and one of them is related to Windows Defender, so I suppose it is a false positive.

Key Found : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\Certificates\3679CA35668772304D30A5FB873B0FA77BB70D54
Key Found : HKLM\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\Image File Execution Options\MsMpEng.exe

Bonjour, j'utilise adwcleaner depuis longtemps, et il m'a toujours donné satisfaction. Comme mon ordi ramait, j'ai lancé la version 5.25 qui m'avait déjà servi. Au lancement, il me dit que la version 5.25 est obsolète et me propose de télécharger la 5.26. Je n'ai pas fait attention au nom du site qui m'a proposé de télécharger la 5.26. j'ai téléchargé et enregistrer sans problème, puis j'ai lancé. il y a eut un très très court chargement, j'ai demandé le scan, et la, plus rien !! quan ont veur le fermer, message : adwcleaner ne répond pas. c'est quoi ce pataquès ?? je fai comment pour me rattraper ??

Possible solution on win xp sp3. Rename Adwcleaner_5.021.exe to Adwcleaner.exe. This may also work on versions 18 and up. It may have to do with Avira safe search interfering with it. Once I removed Avira safe search from registry (IE browser entries) using adwcleaner.exe it would then run adwcleaner_5.021.exe.
Hope this works for you. May be worth trying on other OS versions.

TESTIMONIAL For AdwCleaner -- World's Best Free Cleaner for Treacherous Malware
I discovered AdwCleaner at the Malwarebytes forums. It is one of the primary tools used by the AV experts there.
I used AdwCleaner for several years whenever I believe my active PAID AV protection failed to detect a threat.
AdwCleaner saved my PC SEVERAL times from Virus Hell!
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR AdwCleaner, Mr. Xplode.
(WARNING for Novice Users: Unless you are very knowledgeable about the Windows Registry, think twice about using AdwCleaner to delete potentially infected registry keys. If AdwCleaner says you have infected registry keys, go to the Malwarebytes forum and ask for a second opinion from an expert before messing with your Windows Registry.)

URGENT -- Attn: AdWare Developer -- MAJOR Bug Report for v5.019
I just downloaded and attempted to run the current version...but AdWare fails to run and crashes before opening.
Here is what happens:
1. Open File window opens after clicking on the .exe file.
2. Clicking Run on Open File window results in a window opening with an error message.
3. The error message simply states AdWare Cleaner encountered an unknown problem, etc. The error window offers a Debug button. I simply closed it out.
4. I ran version 4.2xx. It opened and worked fine.
NEXT ISSUE: v4.2xx identified about 11 registry keys as a threat. After manually locating each registry key, all registry key were associated with variations of "Download.SwInstaller" and "NCTAudioFile2.DLL". Extensive Google searching didn't uncover any meaningful info about the nature of those two 'things'. So, I didn't let Adware delete them. DO YOU KNOW WHY ADWARE PEGGED THOSE REGISTRY KEYS AS THREATS?
*** Sir Xplode, I wish to profusely thank you for sharing Adware with the world. Your Adware saved my PC more than once over the years. Bless you!

Est-ce bien normal ? Faux positifs ?

Pour l'instant, dans le doute, je les conserve.

Avez-vous un avis ?

Merci d'avance.

Bonjour.
Peut-être un faux positif (5 clés de registre se rapportant à la même Application, (K-Lite codec pack pour ne pas la citer). Détection apparue avec la 5.010. A savoir :

Clé Trouvée : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{525F116F-04AD-40A2-AE2F-A0C4E1AFEF98}
Clé Trouvée : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{9852A670-F845-491B-9BE6-EBD841B8A613}

correspondant à un" WORM_LOVGATE..." (dans vsfilter.dll sauf erreur)
Possible d'avoir confirmation faux positif ou pas ?
Merci d'avance, cordialement.
