General Question about AdsFix

Hi there, 

I just have some questions about your program. 

1: Does AdsFix have a pause button? During the analyzing sequence it took over 4 hours to scan (and that was at 57%), I didn't expect it to go for so long. 

2: When I pressed escape on the keyboard; when it was analyzing, the computer froze up and windows was seizing. Followed by a frozen screen and I had to hard reset the computer. ...

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

A quick bump up the post to get admins/mods here to confirm and double check my concerns.  Also, the other thread hasn't been confirmed by admins/mods as well. We will see how it turns out, could be just another bug with Adwcleaner.

Re: version 5.016 ..... FP with Spyware blaster active x registry entries

I'm running adwcleaner version 7.0.1.0 and this is an issue even now and has been in the last few versions of adwcleaner.

It started with the version where you changed the programs interface.

Most of the time Adwcleaner finds five internet explorer active x registry entries but sometimes it can be over a hundred and the next time it's back to five again even though I have not done anything th...
