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.
Bonjour tout le monde
grande merci a Xplode et tout l'équipe pour ce logicielle
merci AdwCleaner
cdt
AdwCleaner v5.021
C'est clair merci pour cette mise à jour symbolique.
On pense à tous les victimes et à ceux qui nous protègent dans l'ombre comme ils peuvent.
Bonjour
version 5.020 téléchargée mais... cette fois ce n'est plus 1 PC mais les 2 PC sous XP-SP3 qui refusent de lancer l'application !!!
"adwcleaner_5.020 a rencontré un problème et doit fermer..."
mMmmm ennuyeux :-(
Du coup pas testée sous Seven64... j'attendrai une version non buguée looooooooool
Merci.
Once again and this time in english my suggestion for the UI/language
While in English is a distinctly difference between "Cleaning" and "Uninstall", in the german translation the words "Löschen" (Delete) and "Deinstallieren" (Uninstall) are not so different and many people misunderstand this. After a scan they often choose "Deinstallieren" (and the similar Icon with the red bug reinforces the error) because they think, that this uninstalls the malware but in fact it deinstalls AdwCleaner.
Please change that.
Bonsoir
Depuis la version 5.018, j'ai ce message d'erreur sur 1 de mes 3 PC :
"Adwcleaner a rencontré un problème
et doit fermer"
et le soft ne se lance pas... même punition avec la 5.019...
Par contre si je relance la 5.017 (en refusant la MAJ), tout se passe normalement et elle ne trouve aucune clé ou fichier suspect. J'ai complété le test par ZHPdiag et ZHPcleaner qui sont tous deux négatifs aussi.
Merci.
I concurr. I'm running WIndows Version 7 Ultimate.
I run JRT before hand - it executes without issue.
Then run ADWCLEANER and the machine is crashing with Blue Screen of Death!
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.)
@SPARTACUS Do not blame changelog AdwCleaner I have been using this program since the "Beta" version never had a problem and wish to thank the developer for this program this and Malwarebytes has saved me a lot of bs excespcially dloadin torrent files such as games and software you never know what viruses and malware are hiding in these files . And back to @SPARTACUS your "other perfectly good programs "you say you had with your chrome extensions you should of unchecked them before running clean setting and I believe there is a pop up could be wrong but if my mem serves me right a pop up comes up after scanning files before clean it says pls uncheck files and extensions you wish to keep I always have to do this cause I have a bunch of "PUP" but other first time users pls disregard this person comment I've been using for years and love this program
@SPARTACUS Sorry that it happened. What was these "other perfectly good programs" that AdwCleaner removed ? I also insists that we recommend to ask for help on our support forum while using such a tool. AdwCleaner let you choose what elements you want to remove. Finally, you can always easily restore deleted files by using the quarantine.
Regards.
