Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.4.0 not a valid application

I am using Firefox 56.0.2, with DownThemAll download manager addon. I get the same results as Psajko above.

Major difficulties with AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1

I am helping a friend clean a grossly infected computer. Windows 10. Uses McAfee AV.

Re: Computer Infected, AdwCleaner won't download

Hi, it's Firefox, but I also tried on IE and it still didn't work. I also tried Firefox on Linux Ubuntu, on the same computer, and still no luck lol.

This could be a worm (Network virus). And you might need to reflash your routers software. Check your network settings or network device and see if there are static IP's in place.

Hello, today after updating adwcleaner to the new version, has detected some PUPs (I leave you the registry of the scan and the cleaning). After reboot, I ran adwcleaner again and the PUPs are still there.

I have researched a bit about these addresses, and it seems that they are the default addresses that the router from my internet company provides. Each time I clean them, when I reconnect to...
