Hi,

AdwCleaner does not detect or remove the adware "DNS Unlocker".

In my case, there were just some registry entries:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\TCPIP\PARAMETERS\INTERFACES\{c8f969ff-7124-4db8-b7f1-963aec660a87}|NameServer, 82.163.143.171 82.163.142.173

HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\TCPIP\PARAMETERS|NameServer, 82.163.143.171 82.163.142.173

Same problem, in my case adw 6.0 reports 18  win7  services as threats, "faux possitifs??" , but  after adw clean and restart win7, the 18 threat services are not deleted...repeated the scan -clean and restart several times with the same results.

Also I've ran many cleaning softwares such as FRST, Hitmanpro, Malwarebytes, EEK, rKill, Super Antispyware, TDSSKiller, and I even went and did a Combofix scan and nothing popped up on all of those except for ADWCleaner so it must be a false detection.

Thanks for your reply.

First try: could you disable Zemana and/or Malwarebytes before running AdwCleaner (scan and clean mode)? Is this happening again?

Regards.

C'est quelque chose de fréquent pour tous les outils de désinfection qui sont censés être utilisés ponctuellement, et non gardés sur le système.

Hélas, ce répertoire mal placé est la raison pour laquelle je désinstalle systématiquement AdwCleaner.

Cela dit, pour la securité, j'utilise Avira Antivirus Pro et Malwarebytes Anti-Malware qui eux stockent bien le...
