Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 XP SP3

Hello,

It's edited, thanks for pointing it out.

Sorry for not supporting XP and Vista any longer but we had to make some choices. If you have any troubles while using MB3, please reach us and we'll help!

Re: ADWCleaner & Teamviewer

Never had issues that ADWCleaner would remove my TeamViewer. You sure it was that software? Maybe it was a fluke or a trojan pretending to be TeamViewer. You could try installing TV, doing a scan with anti-virus software, ADWCleaner and maybe some form of anti-malware on top of that, to confirm or deny your thoughts.

Re: ADWCleaner & Teamviewer

I can't replicate it so not sure what happened. Hopefully just a fluke.

Re: Adw Cleaner compatible Windows XP sp3

rufus, I agree will all that you say. many users are probably unaware that the defs are NOT being updated.

I had hoped that someone could have looked at my debug log and said if the problem would be fixed or support for XP was being dropped. Will the new version support XP?

 

Re: ADWCleaner & Teamviewer

Can you share us the whole Debug log file? You can use Up2Sha.re if you want, or just copy its content on your next answer.

Re: After install Torch browser from the official page adwcleaner detects malware 18

Torch browser very often came along with bundles and without user's agreement. If you install it by yourself simple remove check-marks from appropriate elements.Torch browser very often came along with bundles and without user's agreement.

Re: Can I remove these folders/keys safely with adware cleaner?

Greetings. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to do so. It looks like all the files and registries are not part of natural Windows process. Adwcleaner rarely has false positives. It is good that you are extra careful with what you are removing and how it works, but you have no worries here.

Can I remove these folders/keys safely with adware cleaner?

Need some help please, here is the log, thanks for any assistance:
