AdwCleaner suddenly stops

Hi,

I have been using Adwcleaner for quite some time and had always done the job well. But recently since the version 5.009 have noticed that in middle of scanning it suddenly stops and shows an error code as shown by the image. After pressing ok the program stops too and the same happens after restarting it. I am now using the latest version but the same is happening.

Anyone know how I could...

Re: How to ignore specific programs from Adwcleaner scan

I'm aware that I can "uncheck" specific items.  Unfortunately, I have no way to know if I have correctly identified all required items - specially in the area of the registry, where the items may not be easy to identify - and I have no way to mark these choices (that I'm aware of) as "permanent" so that I don't have to go through the same procedure each time I perform a scan.

Re: Autoit error

Hi,

Of course, the same error occurs with Debug Mode enabled, but there will be created a special logfile under C:\AdwCleaner . Just as a note: I'm not talking about the logfile from AdwCleaner where adware elements are shown.

Are you 100% sure that there is no file like C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_dbg_XXXX.log there?

When does this problem appear? After pressing Scan or Clean button?

 

Thank...

Re: Autoit error

Hi,

thanks for reply. Even with Debug mode enabled it stops with same error and log is not created.

Hello,

Now, it's ok! I solved my pb, perhaps thank to AdvCleaner.

* First with AdvCleaner... no (visible) effect. I run it twice and the second time it told me everything was ok... except I always had my virus.

+ Then, I learnt about Chrome Cleanup tool. I run it! Same pb... it told me that it didn't see any threat! And, after that, my Chrome has been blocked... Impossible to run il!

Re: False Detection by AdwCleaner

One more false positive in Tasks section:

Задание Найдено : ASUS Splendid ColorU

And here line from RSIT log:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\tasks\ASUS Splendid ColorU - C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\Splendid\ColorUService.exe 

And here from FRST log same system:

Task: {18BB4FA0-1AD7-4E4C-A06C-88D406A531A6} - System32\Tasks\ASUS Splendid ColorU => C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\Splendid\ColorUService...

Re: Save to Pocket Extension incorrectly identified as malware

One final question: Are there any other services that might have the same errant info we should reach out to? Can you possbily share where this issue was discovered?

Re: Windows 10 Crashing

Hello,

Same as here we'll need the list of running processes :

  1. Launch Powershell from the Applications Menu
  2. Write the following command in the opened window and press [Enter] :
Get-Process | Out-File Processes.txt

 

 In your personal folder (C:\Users\xx), you should get a file called Processes.txt. Please paste it here or host it on Up2Share as before.

Greetings terrypin,

first of all, sorry for the delay of my answer.

1. Deleted folder

I don't understand how I should interpret these entries: ***** [ Folders ] *****

[-] Folder Deleted : C:\Docs\radio
[!] Folder Not Deleted : C:\Docs\radio
[!] Folder Not Deleted : C:\Docs\radio

Re: submit samples

on AdwCleaner by ****

in particular i wanted to raise awareness about some firefox adware/malware which is showing up rather frequently as an addon with a randomized id and name which hides itself from the addons manager which is going undetected at the moment.

you can find some samples of the amlicious addon's .xpi file attached at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1161259
