After the logs, do you have any other anti-virus or active anti-malware software that could be interfering?Have you tried restarting PC, running RKill to kill potentially malicious software and scan with AdwCleaner? What about Windows safe mode? does that work?
If it would be a false positive, you would be safe, I am not sure it is. Have you tried doing a full scan with your anti-virus software and Malwarebytes? Did they pop up a false positive as well? It is always best to check with multiple anti-malware software before jumping conclusions.
I've used AdwCleaner 7.0.2.0 BETA2 on my PC (Windows 10 Pro x64) and I've encountered no problem with (except the alert box about outdated (beta) version you've just to cancel and "Quarantine bug").
Are you sure of integrity of binary file you've downloaded? MD5 checksum correct value for v7.0.2.0 beta2 must be: ce116e89dfb4b0df2a4128b0f8470e36
If the downloaded file is good, perhaps AdwClean...

I tried AdwCleaner on 2 different PCs, first one is mine running on Windows 10 x64 and the second that of a friend with Windows 7 32bits. On my PC, many previous versions of AdwCleaner had already been launched. On my friend's PC, it was the first use I believe (but it's not sure).
On my friend PC to disinfect, MiPony was installed and obviously AdwCleaner try to remove all traces o...
Hello,

I've discovered same "Quarantine bug" when I want to recover few files deleted and placed in quarantine. Deleted files are in C:\AdwCleaner\Quarantine subfolders but aren't shown in Quarantine dialogbox tab in AdwCleaner 7.0.1.0.
I moved manually to their original place the files I want to recover, but it's more easy when Quarantine restoring works in AdwCleaner just with few mouse clicks.

Could you define the nature of the pop-up? Is it in the browser? On the desktop? through certain applications? When did the issue start happening? (Please answer these before continuing the read)
