OK, this issue is known and will be fixed in the upcoming 7.1 version.
In the meantime, we can try to use AdwCleaner in Safe Mode. It works sometimes.
Here is how you can boot Windows 7 in Safe Mode : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/
Then, just launch AdwCleaner again and do a scan/clean.
When I tried to do this yeasterday Adw crashed or freezed on me and I ended up with a error msg.
I guess I can reproduce the error msg and take a screen shot.

Thanks for the scan logfile.
Can you then click on "Clean", let AdwCleaner do his work, and then please share the generated logfile after reboot?
Regards.
Done!

Hi guys,
I installed the other 'some' tool and while installig this other tool my windows 7 box got infected with
'lavasoft web companion'
obivouly my first weapon of choice was to pick up a new vesion of adwcleaner.
However the currenct version 7.0.4.0 seems of have problems removing the above named spyware.
However I partialy managed to remove some elements of lavasoft web companion....
Greetings,
My apologies if this is duplicated elsewhere.

No worries. :)
As I speak, it's not planned anymore.
Regards.
Thanks! What files from firefox profile should I upload? Logs:
MalwareBytes: https://pastebin.com/8Cr1dNMP
AdwCleaner: https://pastebin.com/NatkW1J6
Addons: https://pastebin.com/4ZgCDJsT
EDIT: I just checked gearbest.com and now the page loads. I don't know what happened, but it's fixed.
My apologies if this is duplicated elsewhere.
The last update I've seen referencing the ADW Cleaner CLI was almost a year ago.
Have there been any updates? Or is that project now canceled after the acquisition by Malwarebytes?
Any information would be great!
Hello,
I can send files from my firefox profile if that helps (I did a full text search on all files in my profile for text string "area51buy.com" but nothing relevant was found)Simplex, 2017-11-09 12:10:12 (UTC)
Yes, please do. I'm sure we'll find a solution.
Also,
Can you give me the list of your installed addons - in Firefox?
Also, please share the AdwCleaner/Malwarebytes logfiles.
