You know that, i know that, but a schoolstudent does not. As a servicedeskmanager i have been promoting adwcleaner for years on our schools but now it's causing confusion among collegues and other cliënts when adwcleaner is stating that there might be a problem or maybe something is a PUP while there isnt anything wrong. I understand there's a behavior pattern wich puts it in a categorie for ma...
Have you noticed anything else weird/out of the ordinary on your PC? Can you try booting into Windows "Safe mode with networking" and see if you can do any of the actions through that. Otherwise, I would recommend doing a thorough malware check just in case.
Full and thorough malware check:
1. Restart your PC in “Safe mode with networking.” 2. Install and run RKill to kill malicious processes...
Since PUP is a potentially unwanted software, it might not be an infection, just some rogue application running or installed on your PC. Do a thorough scan with Malwarebytes and see if it helps to deal with the issue. Also, you can try searching for the folder manually, as the path is listed and remove it that way. If you have issues, kill the process with the task manager and then remove it.
Can you try with this one: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/files/1040/ ?

I did, but it failed also. I had to use the task manager to get it to stop "running" even after it "froze". I caqn't afford to have my computer break down....so I do not want to try it again. All I have that's worthwhile in this life is my computer and my dog!...

Hi,
Same problem and same message : "*** Caught unhandled unknown exception, terminating."
Activating Debug from Tools menu does not solve anything.
I cannot even close the message of error, the close button is grey, so I have to close adwcleaner via Task Manager.

I tried running ADW Cleaner but it stops / freezes and I have to use the task manager to close it down.
Want to attach image of pop up window but do not know how to attach to this post.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the reason could be?
I am running Windows 7 Pro. 64bit
