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Please try the 6th branch (no longer updated): https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/files/851/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.
