After 2 days trying with a lot of programms, has adware cleaner resolved my problem. Thanks a lot.
Adwcleaner is detecting speedbit video downloader as a malware. This makes it difficult in cleaning other malwares as some of the links might be related to speedbit video downloader. could you check this link and solve the problem (https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/54048-malwarebytes-anti-malware-version-146-erroneously-detects-speedbit-speedbit-video-downloader-as-adwareecobar/). Thank you
Can I just say thanks for AdwCleaner. I had 140 ad-programs clogging my machine. Your software got rid of them fast! Also, a word to the XP users out there. It is a little strange to be using an operating system no longer supported by MS with utilities and security updates - and then complain that an Adware removal program won't work on it! Your computer is a disaster waiting to happen! Please upgrade to Win 7 at least - for your own sake.
Hi Xplode, just wanted to update you with this discussion @ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/558151/adwcleaner-deleted-system-required-registry-entries/
For at least 2 versions ago, Adwcleaner is detecting problems in "Folders" with a program called "System Mechanic" from "Iolo" (http://www.iolo.com). This program is helping our computers to stay functional, healthy and safe. Could it be possible to whitelist this program? Thanks!
I had to make an account just to thank you for this amazing program.
I had something crazy going on on my computer that installed priceechopp and savemaass as extensions on chrome every time I opened it - making ads pop up everywhere...
I tried going through my installed programs list and deleting things (I found scary things with tricky names that looked normal in there too) but nothing helped
I read forums and forums about people who had the same problem as me and were installing all these programs with none of them helping
Finally someone said that this helped so I tried it
It was so fast, and so weird to see the notepad open with all of these scary files that were deleted - I would have never thought to look for them in those locations
Anyways thank you sooo much.
And for anyone who wants to get rid of pricechopp, this is the only thing I've heard of that actually works.
Bonjour,
Nouveau problème de AdwCleaner version 4.101
Concerne les clés de registre appartenant à Norton Ghost 15
Ci-dessous le copié collé de ce que trouvait AdwCleaner version 4 précédente
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\0FF2AEFF45EEA0A48A4B33C1973B6094]
"3475520BB5615DB4D88A73FD9B390051"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Norton Ghost\\Agent\\msvcr71.dll"
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\305B09CE8C53A214DB58887F62F25536]
"3475520BB5615DB4D88A73FD9B390051"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Norton Ghost\\msvcp71.dll"
Depuis la version AdwCleaner 4.101, il ne fait plus référence qu'à la clé 0FF2AEFF45EEA0A48A4B33C1973B6094
Autoriser le nettoyage oblige à la désinstallation complète de Norton Ghost et de toutes ses valeurs dans le registre afin de pouvoir le réinstaller à neuf.
Autant dire, la galère...
Merci d'apporter une solution

Bonjour.
Suite votre msg d'il y a env. 12 jours
Avec mes excuses pour le retard de la réponse, la clé de registre concernée était:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\Total
Nota: v4.100 et v.4101= RAS
Bonjour,
AdwCleaner a bien supprimé OfferBox de mon PC (merci beaucoup) mais n’a pas rétabli les paramètres de connexion à internet : OfferBox s'était mis en serveur proxy dans le navigateur Internet Explorer (donc aussi dans Firefox qui reprend les paramètres d'Internet Explorer) donc je n'avais plus de connexion à internet après avoir exécuté AdwCleaner.
AdwCleaner a aussi voulu supprimer ces 3 raccourcis (j'ai évidemment refusé) :
- C:\Users\PC\Desktop\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\CIC.lnk
Pour info, les 3 raccourcis CIC.lnk contiennent :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" 2421035398.mobile.cic.fr
Merci pour votre investissement dans ce formidable outil qu'est AdwCleaner, bonne continuation.
