Re: AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Hi, thanks for responding.

Well that should be good news!

Is the log file the same as the application file in Malwarebytes? It is not very detailed....

 

Here is the last file of the last scan I did (of several):

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware www.malwarebytes.org

Scan Date: 31/08/2016 Scan Time: 3:25:56 PM Logfile: mbam.txt Administrator: Yes

AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Hi,

I had some unwanted popups the other day and seemed to remove them.

As AdwCleaner is recommended for adware/pups, I thought I'd try it out to see if Malwarebytes found everything.

The scan itself was quick, but the removing part took longer, and when it got to the end it crashed (screen went wonky and discoloured, my disabled avira taskbar icon had a big red x through it) and restarted. ...

Fortunately, I kept backups of CCleaner's registry deletions, some of which are clearly nothing to do with this adware:

AdwCleaner can't remove Program Files (x86)\MPC Cleaner

I got infected with loads of adware after trying to install SUPER file converter.

I have run Windows Defender to remove trojans and a malware installer.

Whichever Prinicpal I give Full Control, there is always some other Principal's permission lacking to delete Program Files (x86)\MPC Cleaner.

Running AdwCleaner isn't managing to do so either.  Log file: https://up2sha.re/file?f=4pnRQn2e5du8...

DNS Unlocker not removed

Hi,

AdwCleaner does not detect or remove the adware "DNS Unlocker".

In my case, there were just some registry entries:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\TCPIP\PARAMETERS\INTERFACES\{c8f969ff-7124-4db8-b7f1-963aec660a87}|NameServer, 82.163.143.171 82.163.142.173

HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\TCPIP\PARAMETERS|NameServer, 82.163.143.171 82.163.142.173

The GUID (c8f96...) may dif...

Hi There!

Apologies I was not able to check this thread past few days. Refer below URL for the process list as mentioned.

https://up2sha.re/file?f=kORetcCWxRDi

BTW, I guess the adware is still present in my system, because it is not allowing the AV firewall protection to turn on, also I'm not able to stream anything on Chromecast because of some "firewall issue", which I'm suspecting is beca...
