Haw, can I remove it?
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.

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.

Hi,
Same problem as before. And Can't get to the debug log. Program continues to shut down at heuristics. Here are the details again. I hope this is helpful.
