@ThosThos,

I'm using XP, and AdwCleaner has never detected any adware or malware on my computer other than one or two orphan registry entries. How many did AdwCleaner detect on your Windows 7 computer? Oh yeah, 140.... There's a lot more to computing than having the very latest... ;)

Bonjour,
Nouveau problème de AdwCleaner version 4.101
Concerne les clés de registre appartenant à Norton Ghost 15
Ci-dessous le copié collé de ce que trouvait AdwCleaner version 4 précédente

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\0FF2AEFF45EEA0A48A4B33C1973B6094]
"3475520BB5615DB4D88A73FD9B390051"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Norton Ghost\\Agent\\msvcr71.dll"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\305B09CE8C53A214DB58887F62F25536]
"3475520BB5615DB4D88A73FD9B390051"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Norton Ghost\\msvcp71.dll"

Depuis la version AdwCleaner 4.101, il ne fait plus référence qu'à la clé 0FF2AEFF45EEA0A48A4B33C1973B6094

Autoriser le nettoyage oblige à la désinstallation complète de Norton Ghost et de toutes ses valeurs dans le registre afin de pouvoir le réinstaller à neuf.
Autant dire, la galère...

Merci d'apporter une solution

Bonjour.
Puis je vous signaler un logiciel maintenant ancien (WebExpert que je juge bon par ailleurs) mais toujours affecté d'une Toolbar :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: PowerSearch Toolbar
Type: Adware

Description:
Shows advertisements and banners independently of user activity.

Registry Keys:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-507921405-1563985344-1801674531-1003\software\Visicom Media
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nota: La Toolbar peut être désinstallée si on en a conscience mais, la clé reste et est toujours infectante, ..... je crois.
Bien cordialement

Please, I need your help. After scanning my system with your product, I detected the following (from the report)
# AdwCleaner v3.303 - Report created 08/08/2014 at 10:38:47

########## EOF - C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[R99].txt - [775 octets] ##########

After the scan, Under Chrome found an Extension unknown.(see above)
Selected "Clean" - Program ran for a little then a message appeared:
Aut2Exe has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

The faulty chrome Extension was not removed. My system is now unstable and had several dumps (blue screen). Avast, ESET, Malwarebytes and other reported nothing, only AdwCleaner.
Again, my system is now unstable, AdwCleaner is detecting that Chrome Extension but does abort before removing it. Any idea of what the problem is.
Please, contact me at padi5star@gmail.com if you have a solution. I will be away from my computer for 10 days, but I can receive emails.
Thank you.
