Got 2 viruses and the AdwCleaner freezes @20% during removal. Microsoft Security Essential and Malwarebytes does not detect these viruses.

Haw, can I remove it?
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
Interesting development. Thanks for the logs, as expected they are clean. Successful removal could indicate that Adwcleaner stopped the threat further or was a false positive. Honestly, everything related to Yahoo is a massive security hole for me, and I would avoid it as much as possible.
Upon further investigation, this looks like malware's registry file that wasn't removed correctly, but t...

Depuis quelques semaines quand je joues avec teamSpeak ouvert j'ai une montée de ping normalement j'ai ~16ms et là ça peut monter jusqu'à 2500ms voir plus pendant ~10sec. Ducout j'entends mal mes coéquipiers... En jeu je n'est pas de montée de ping, juste parfois mais rarement j'ai une déconnexion en me disant :" Connexion perdue".

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.
Can you post the full logs? Also, try downloading the newest beta version of Adwcleaner and see if that helps you out? In addition to that, try doing the scans in Windows "Safe mode with networking" as well as add Hitman Pro to your program list. That way you can be certain that the threats are removed. In theory, it should work.
Thanks for that! The beta versioning was needed badly. As the users were not aware that it was updated and even when I recommended the software for some people it was hard to point out that it was in fact updated.
