Re: ADWCleaners is downloaded with corruption constantly

Greetings,

The issue with download managers is known and will be resolved at the end of the week. In the meantime, please avoid using any download manager while downloading AdwCleaner - it should then work as expected.

To be more precise, this is related to parallel download feature (in Chrome, since version 64) and some other download managers.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards.

Re: PUP \SysNative\drivers\mrxsmb22.sys

SysNative, means System32.

I found it here:

C>Windows>System32>drivers

Name                     Size

mrxsmb.22.sys       57 KB

And

C\AdwCleaner\Quarantine\

I then tracked it thru Manic Time to the exact time in seconds and found what happened at that time as confirmed adw, installer wnd.

What this was is a fake Cedrick Collomb Portable. Unlocker is only an Install.

Re: Win XP support

I am not sure, but I think there is a library of legacy Adwcleaner installations for older software if the new ones do not work. I just looked at compatibilities for the newest version, it appears that it should work with WinXP. What issues are you experiencing?

Also avoid the link above, not only it is Russian, but also illegitimate. 

Edit: Interestingly enough it isn't. Not sure where I loo...

Re: False Positive v7?

Interesting development. Thanks for the logs, as expected they are clean. Successful removal could indicate that Adwcleaner stopped the threat further or was a false positive. Honestly, everything related to Yahoo is a massive security hole for me, and I would avoid it as much as possible. 

Upon further investigation, this looks like malware's registry file that wasn't removed correctly, but t...

Re: Start\Windows icon

Well, plenty of work there, Josh! I've done virtually them all including Hitman Pro,MBAM, AdwCleaner, CCleaner but no change in anything, still same problem with the Start icon. Just can't wonder what I've done. Oh, and System Restore hasn't worked for months in my Win 10 so downloaded and was using Restore Point Creator which was better, but that nearly alway fails to work. Reformatting is a b...

Re: Remote Access

Hello,

Until we know if it's wrong or not, I advise you to avoid to use your computer for critical stuff (i.e banking...) and your webcam.

Thanks,

Re: Ransomware .shit?

Hello, Pelle!

It's sad to say, but all versions of Locky ransomware, including .shit can't be decrypted. The only thing that you can do is to delete the virus from your PC and try to avoid the suchlike infection next time. Of course, you should keep the encrypted files somewhere, to be able to decrypt them when the decryption tool will be released. If you're interested in this - this article m...

Re: ADWcleaner wants to remove Reimage Repair

In spite of my last message, I had reason to RE-install and use Reimage again.  I have now become very, VERY wary of sites I visit on this computer, so I can avoid using ADWClearner on it.  IF there are any sites I want to visit of a "questionable" nature, I use a different computer.  Either my laptop or my tablet.  I then run ADWCleaner to clear them of any PUPs or viruses or whatever they may...
