Greetings,
AdwCleaner 7.x no longer works on Windows XP machines. If that's what you were asking?
Please try the 6th branch (no longer updated): https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/files/851/
Also, you could give a try to Malwarebytes (which is still compatible with Windows XP): https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/309-malwarebytes/
Regards.
Thanks. Realized that the 7.0.7 ToolsLib download page offers to display several security hashes for reference. To close off my request above: The MD5 shown there matches mine at this end despite repeated reported issues encountered in downloading the file from ToolsLib. FYI/toss.
Just did another search, the last trace of it is no longer found. All gone. Did completly nothing, the last one went away on its own.
I don't use Malwarebytes after the huge changes. Count on Adw, JRT, & MBAE. I hope you live long, so Corporate won't take control.

Sorry for the lack of answer.
Indeed, this issue will be fixed with the upcoming v7.1 (almost ready!).

Hello, Administrator! There was a brace of follow-on replies added within the past week that just got cut off - having system issues? The drift was that this is a known problem, has apparently existed since the advent of version 7 and now continues beyond 7.0.6 to 7.0.7. AdwCleaner consistently crashes when starting up during the "heuristic" phase, and the resulting debug file is truncated a...
I thought the file was truncated too but that's how it looks. The process just stops. The link is below.
Hello,
Thanks. The logfile seems truncated. Can you please upload it here: https://up2sha.re - Then, share me the generated link.
Thanks again.
I re-ran Adwcleaner today in debug mode. The log file is below as you requested.
