Re: Adwcleaner 5.112 and Google Chrome 50.0.2661.75 m (latest version)

Hello,

In v5.000, "Internet Explorer" tab had been removed because IE settings are stored in the registry, therefore keys are now listed under "Registry" tab.

In v5.111, "Chrome" tab had been removed because now there is an option "Reset Chrome preferences". Prior to this version, you should manually select entries that you wanted to remove inside Chrome preferences files, and this was not as...

Adwcleaner 5.112 and Google Chrome 50.0.2661.75 m (latest version)

As i do everyday, today I scanned my computer with Adwcleaner after updating the 5.111 version to the 5.112 version, as the sftware advised me to do.

When the scan was finished (telling me no malicious software had been found on my computer), I was shocked to find out there no longer was a Chrome thumbsmark and therefore presumably my Google Chrome browser hadn't be scanned. It happens to be m...

AdwCleaner deletes acestream but it reappears after Windows start-up

on Disinfection by ****

Hello,

After I installed then uninstalled Ace Stream and its Firefox plugin, I ran a scan on my PC with AdwCleaner and found the following entry to delete :

C:/Users/MyName/AppData/Roaming/.acestream

I asked AdwCleaner to delete it, and it was indeed deleted after rebooting and the report said it was deleted. I ran a second scan and AdwCleaner found nothing to deleted, so I thought the probl...

Re: smartnewtab.com

Hi,

You are right, we could have invest about what was creating those pop-ups. In fact a search on the registry with the url of the pop-ups could have worked since a great part of the IE configuration is set under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.

We will do that next time !

 

Some recommendations, as Internet Explorer is not really consider as the safer web browser, I...

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Hello,

Can you try de-quarantine both keys that were deleted by AdwCleaner? ( Run it, click on "Tools" -> "Quarantine" )

Does that solve your problem ?

Issue with Microsoft Edge

I downloaded and ran AdwCleaner on my wife's computer after some suspicious activity to rule out an infection. All it found was: 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\d23716qn9q7omq.cloudfront.net' 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\dotomi.com'

I had it remove those keys, now when launching Edge it will not load...

Re: SQLite3.dll

on AdwCleaner by ****

Hello,

The error may be normal with previous releases (before 5.107). If you got it while running the v5.110, it's related to an old sqlite3.dll in your %temp% folder.

Nothing to worry about.

Best regards,
