Hello,

Can you relaunch AdwCleaner and confirm that the bug is solved ?

Best regards,

no it is not solved.  I've ran it 10 times, had it reboot and it still shows up. 

Can you share the logfile ? (at least the header)

see the 3rd post above

ran a registry cleaner to clean up some dead software links etc.  this seemed to remove that registry entry that was throwing off adwcleaner.  reran adwcleaner and there are now no threats picked up.

So, problem solved :)
