This is getting worse and serious!!!!

WHY ON EARTH would adwcleaner delete user's files???????
Thanks.

My computer got infected with BugFixxer adware and AdwCleaner was able to remove it. However, it keeps coming back! Fortunately my anti-virus software now blocks it from running, but how can I stop it from installing itself on my computer?
Hi there,
In some case i almost run AdwCleaner to scan my PC for more security but a few days that it finds suspicious registry keys.
Called:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814}
