Re: Internet issues after running adwcleaner Winsock2 being deleted

Hello,

Did you uncheck "Reset Winsock Settings" before doing the "clean" mode ? If AdwCleaner had deleted Winsock entries, they should be listed on the logfile and this is not the case here.

I think it'll be helpful if you could do a snapshot of the registry before AdwCleaner's cleaning and after. You can use a software like RegShot ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/ ).

Re: Internet issues after running adwcleaner Winsock2 being deleted

Hello Xplode,

Thanks for your time looking into this matter.  I apologize I was away and not able to assist shortly after reporting this issue.  I had noticed that you had released a couple of newer versions while I was away, so I downloaded and ran the newest one 5.109, but the issue persisted.  Please note that I am not deleting any files or folders that your program detects (as there are so...

False positive?

Greetings, I wanted only to know if the result that throws the program is a false positive because I did not yesterday and today indicated if, besides that it throws on the two machines I have.

- While holding [Shift], right-click on that executable file and select ‘Run as a different user’

- Enter your local administrator credentials

Re: XP sp3 AdwCleaner 5.108

Yes, I did make sure to uninstall the previous version as ypu describe and downloaded v5.108 from the link that you posted.

AdwCleaner starts up fine, gets into "loading database", and then the error message as above.

Re: Crash

Hello,

It doesn't look like this error is related to AdwCleaner. I'd suggest trying a "sfc /scannow" or replacing SHLWAPI.dll

If the error still occurs, it would be helpful to have an AppCrashView report about this error ( http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/app_crash_view.html )

It's a FP. This id has been associated with a malicious extension, but it changed.

This has been fixed, and the changes will be effective soon.
