on AdwCleaner by ****

Hi,

Just installed AdwCleaner v5.007 and ran it for first time.

I've uploaded the report here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4019461/AdwCleaner%5BC3%5D.txt

I'd appreciate advice on three points please:

1. Deleted folder

I don't understand how I should interpret these entries: ***** [ Folders ] *****

[-] Folder Deleted : C:\Docs\radio
[!] Folder Not Deleted : C:\Docs\radio
[!] Fold...

Re: Pop up saying database corrupt

Hello,

Did you try to clear your temp folder ?

Then, please download AdwCleaner again. Tell me if it helped.

Not sure about file restore function, but if you are desperate to recover files I have found this tool to be effective (I am not affiliated with them.) www.stellarinfo.com/partition-recovery-software.php

I just discovered that the Quarantine Manager did NOT return all the files that it said were returned. And all the files are gone from Quarantine Manager now. Not happy.

Without reason ADWcleaner deleted a VERY important folder for my work which I had on my desktop without recent backup!

Hello,

Would you please show us log named C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[C1].txt

Did you try to go to menu Tools - Quarantine Manager ? What is located there?

I would highly recommend a few improvements that would have prevented or minimized the difficulties I experienced.

1. Display the Log File after the Scan is done, so that it's more obvious what was found before Cleaning starts. My Scan didn't find any "Services" to clean so my GUI didn't change. Even if a display had appeared to indicate I should check all tabs before Cleaning, I might have av...

Re: ADWCleaner deleted a folder it shouldn't

Logfiles are saved into C:\AdwCleaner as "AdwCleaner[CX].txt" where X is a number.

Moreover, can you also upload Quarantine.log. Then I'll be able to write you a script to restore all your files.

Hmm, okay so it sounded so simple.

Where can I find the Log File? That option is greyed out when I load ADWCleaner.

Also, I can't seem to copy lines from Quarantine. I can highlight lines individually, and I click on "ALL" lines, but can't seem to copy them.

And, FYI, there are thousands of individual files in Quarantine now. If I could restore the whole folder, it would be fast, but copying...

Re: ADWCleaner deleted a folder it shouldn't

Hello,

Can you please provide us with AdwCleaner's logfile so that we will be able to remove it from the database or update our detections ?

You can write a script to restore many files at once. Just put one line per file to restore ( you can extract the lines from Quarantine.log file ) and use "Script" option in Quarantine manager. Put only the original location of each file in your script.
