Is anyone from the AdwCleaner team able to comment about this yet?

It would be nice wouldn't it? I am solving this myself, by uninstalling AdwCleaner and not recommending it to those requesting help on a forum where I am a mod. Too bad, very good tool, one of the best for removing PUP's but not going to sacrifice SpywareBlaster's ability to block them so ...
hello before using the tool it's good to read the informations and indications about it.
did you turn off your protections that could block the tool ?
it's possible to recover the files or registry keys in the options and selecting what you want to restore
What do you call 'good files deleted' ? windows' crack or something like this ? ^^ or a crapware or unwanted program ?
Regards
Greetings. Please do paste the log. Also, weird reaction, it shouldn't take 4 hours for 50%. It could have been malware trying to prevent further execution of the software, had that happen before. And I am not sure if there is a way to recover your files, official representatives should comment on this matter.
Hi there,
I just have some questions about your program.
1: Does AdsFix have a pause button? During the analyzing sequence it took over 4 hours to scan (and that was at 57%), I didn't expect it to go for so long.
2: When I pressed escape on the keyboard; when it was analyzing, the computer froze up and windows was seizing. Followed by a frozen screen and I had to hard reset the computer. ...
Addition to your protection, you can also add some form of Adblock to your security arsenal. uBlock does wonders blocking malicious pop-ups, and you will not get any scareware that might concern you in any way.
ActiveX is used for Microsoft services. I am fairly certain that this is a false positive. There have been a number of threads about the ActiveX issue, still waiting for confirmation from representatives.
Hi,
Don't panic, this is a classic "aggressive (scam) advertising" and a (real) false 'Zeus' alert! None zeus virus is present on your computer!

Hello,
Windows10 Chrome -- month ago got a malware popup when on tunein radio. Along with the following popup, a voice came on and said "your pc is infected with Malware, do not ignore this, etc:

Since V7 I've been getting false positives on all my machines - often ones reported by others. I suspect they are down to using SypwareBlaster. This is an old but quite safe program which puts kill bits in the registry to prevent undesireable stuff running. I think it would be worth installing SpywareBlaster then "enabling all protection", then see what ADWCleaner makes of it. Thanks.

now the tool is -buggy- with win 10 64bit
see:

still UNSOLVED

You are aware, I assume, that the buggy version is the BETA version, 7.0,2.0. The current version 7.0.1.0 works perfectly well with Windows 10 64bit. Unless you are a BETA testor you should not be using TEST versions.
