adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Just like it says, after I updated to 5.105, I can no longer scan. After pressing scan I get an error popup with the message, "AdwCleaner's database cannot be loaded." I have tried re-downloading the .exe, restarting my computer and turning firewall completely off. But I get this error every time.

Win 7 Pro SP1 x64

Is egui.exe in the registry a false positive?

I downloaded the new ADWCleaner 5.103 this morning, and ran it.  It found one registry key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\Image File Execution Options\egui.exe

I went to the key in the Registry, and the key has no value.

I have ESet Smart Security 8.0.319,0 installed, and I believe that this key could be part of the ESet registry setup. Could you tell me whether or not th...

Hello,

Can you post AdwCleaner's cleaning report ?

Also, can you download RegToolExport, run it, then on the text field copy/paste this text :

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

Click on "Exporter" then save the file to your desktop.

Please attach the exported file to your next reply.
