ADWCleaner deleted a folder saved on my desktop. As per suggestions on this thread, I ran the Quarantine Manager to restore the files. It worked. Files restored and my pc is much faster now after Ive deleted all those adware.
Thank you for this product.
Sorry, can`t use MBAM on my computer. It will not install at first and when it finaly do I can`t run it. I have been in contact with MBAM crew about this before but no solution worked. (And I tried all of the solutions and it took time but no one worked)
But here is the log from adw cleaner:

Hello
I'd just like to report a huge lisst of false positives that Adwcleaner has reported
# AdwCleaner v6.030 - Logfile created 03/11/2016 at 23:52:05 # Updated on 19/10/2016 by Malwarebytes # Database : 2016-11-04.1 [Server] # Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate (X64) # Username : Gamefan - GAMEFAN-PC # Running from : C:\Users\Gamefan\Desktop\My Stuff\adwcleaner_6.030.exe # Mode: Sca...I created new firefox profile using Profile Manager, then I copied all files fromt the old profile to the new one. AdwCleaner did not detect any suspicious files in that new profile folder, so I guess I'm good?
Hello,
Thanks M-K-D-B, sorry for misunderstanding.
@Simplex: Can you zip me the folder "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" and your profile: "4ui6vnjc.Simplex" ? I'll merge the two so that you'll find a clean profile, and you will be able to clean with AdwCleaner the malicious one.
Thanks,
You're right, nice catch! But that really is my main firefox profile. Did malware hacked its name, or what?
I searech for this profile ID and found in int he following places:
c:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41a66e7e5ee1
c:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41a66e7e5ee1
I am certain that when I told adwcleaner to delete this folder, my firefox pro...
This element seems to be a FP caused by a generic detection.
Sorry, but I don't think so.
There are - only at the german TB forum - at least 50 topics with this ff profilename "41A66E7E5EE1".
Usually, every ff profilename is almost unique, 41A66E7E5EE1 isn't unique.
It is related to Yondoo browser hijacker, I've seen multiple topics with this variant.
my suggestion:
Check profiles.i...
Hello,
Sorry I was unclear. You can deselect the element "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" from the "Folders", and do a clean.

Best regards,
You mean this?
Thse issuses are in the log every time I do a scan. Either AdwCleaner does not remove them, or I still have some residual malware which puts it back.
