Major difficulties with AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1

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

He ran Malwarebytes 3 without difficulty and it cleaned with no problem at all. I do have the log if needed but cannot find a way to attach the text file

He then attempted to use AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1 but it would not complete cleaning and received a box with notification that a problem had stopped the clean....

The fact that this is Spanish(Maybe?) makes it very VERY difficult to read.... Any way you could turn it into English? On the first glance noticed some things that MIGHT be potential issues, unsure, cause..... I am not yet used to reading the logs, and different language doesn't help the issue :)

Ports, applications, accessibility. Maybe your other device is used a lot less, you haven't messed with any ports or have any applications that require forwarding. Honestly, very weird issue, I would need to investigate the files. Can you scan your PC With Farbar MiniToolBox and Malwarebytes JRT? Post the logs that you get.

Re: redémarrage impossible après passage de tweaning

Bonjour,

Avez-vous la possibilité d'utiliser un autre clavier ? Vous pouvez aussi tenter d'utiliser le clavier d'accessibilité de Windows. Vous pouvez vous rendre sur cette page pour savoir comment y accéder.

Ensuite, tentez la restauration d'un point de restauration système. La marche à suivre est décrite sur cette page, dans la section "Restaurer à partir d’un point de restauration système"...

Re: Quarantaine adwcleaner vide

Your best option is to go to C:\Adwcleaner and find the logs for quarantined files.

Re: Did AdwCleaner Remove Required Registry Files?

As far as the logs go, no drivers/registry keys that are crucial to the functionality of any hardware have been removed. Just some PUPs that are malicious and have nothing to do with it. For future reference, make sure you update your Windows to the latest version, update your drivers to the latest and do an additional scan both with Adwcleaner and Malwarebytes.

100% False Positive, but not good for me!

Hello reader, I using another new browser called Torch (torchbrowser.com) and I really hate, that ADWCleaner thing that Torch Browser is adware, can be that fixed? Its only normal browser based on Chromium, nothing bad in the browser, but the worst thing is, everytime I need to reinstall the browser after ran ADWCleaner, Thanks for help

Re: General Question about AdsFix

hello before using the tool it's good to read the informations and indications about it.

did you turn off your protections that could block the tool ?

it's possible to recover the files or registry keys in the options and selecting what you want to restore

What do you call 'good files deleted' ? windows' crack or something like this ? ^^ or a crapware or unwanted program ?
