Internet issues after running adwcleaner Winsock2 being deleted

Hello,

I would like to report a bug or an issue I've been having with the latest version of adwcleaner 5.105.  I work at a university and have been assisting with malware removal and typically part of the process, we run adwcleaner since it usually does a fantastic job at removing adware.  Essentially we ran into the issue where after running adwcleaner the internet would no longer work.  Afte...

Re: adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Hello,

In fact, I moved AdwCleaner's folder to C:\Program Files in v5.100 but it was not convenient for users so I moved back to C:\.

For now, I don't think I can find a way to make it work as a domain user, but I'll keep that on my ToDo list for v6.000.

Regards,

Re: adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

The program does work as a local user, no problems with database. However, under previous versions, adwcleaner *did work* as a domain user. Any chance of a fix? Also, any ideas how to get a debug file as a domain user login?

Re: adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Ran with debug mode, no file created. I think this is due to my computer being part of a Windows domain, and I am a domain, not local, user. I will try using a local account.

Re: Can I help you to translate Adwcleaner in Czech language?

Done. I just sent you by email the file translated in Czech.

Can you confirm you received it and the format of the file is correct?

Re: adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Hello,

Can you run AdwCleaner in debug mode? Click on "Options" then "Activate debug mode".

Run the scan. Even if it shows this error message, you should have a file called "Debug_XXXXX.log" under C:\

Please post its content in your next reply ( inside "code" tags )

Re: why couln't remove 'albireo"

Hello,

Please download and run the latest AdwCleaner's version ( v5.104 ). It should disinfect infected DNSApi.dll files. There was a bug in v5.103 which caused AdwCleaner to detect but not disinfect these files.

Regards.
