Good morning! So I re-ran AdwCleaner in Safe Mode, pressed Clean when it found 30 threats, and was once again prevented from a boot menu upon pressing F8 at startup. Argh!
There is not a file called C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_Debug.log.
AdwCleaner[C2] looks like this:
# AdwCleaner v6.010 - Logfile created 03/09/2016 at 09:13:48 # Updated on 12/08/2016 by ToolsLib # Database : 2016-09-03.1 [S...
Hello,
I'm working on it. In the meantime, may you share a debug logfile during a clean ? (Tools > Options > tick "Debug" mode before doing a clean).
Best regards,
Hi, thanks for responding.
Well that should be good news!
Is the log file the same as the application file in Malwarebytes? It is not very detailed....
Here is the last file of the last scan I did (of several):
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware www.malwarebytes.org
Scan Date: 31/08/2016 Scan Time: 3:25:56 PM Logfile: mbam.txt Administrator: Yes

Here is the logfile. Two were actually made, 15 minutes apart. This is the later one:
# AdwCleaner v6.010 - Logfile created 01/09/2016 at 19:26:40 # Updated on 12/08/2016 by ToolsLib # Database : 2016-09-01.2 [Server] # Operating System : Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium Service Pack 2 (X86) # Username : # Running from : C:\Users\Downloads\adwcleaner_6.010.exe # Mode: Clean # Support : https://...
Here are some things to go by, tailored to you and leaving out more complicated things like NoScript:
1) Use Firefox as much as possible and not Internet Explorer, unless you really absolutely must.
2) Install these add-ons for Firefox: BetterPrivacy, Disconnect, Https Everywhere, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin

How come I always get threats? I make sure I visit barely any websites other than YouTube and I still get threats sometimes. Here's the log: https://up2sha.re/file?f=3KxbxlF0CqqX
What is this and how can you get something like this? After using the internet, I got a warning from Malwarebytes that a malicious website has been blocked: piroga.space

Sorry to bother you once more. I'm kind of a paranoid mess sometimes, are you 100% sure that it's not a big deal?
By the way, I've run Malwarebytes several times (including treating PUP and PUMs as malware) and have come up completely clean. Only AdwCleaner is listing these five items as "threats."
It's alright, I informed myself now and managed to remove it manually by going into the registry. What was it and was it something really dangerous or not a big deal? Since I'm by no means well educated in computer things, I got quite startled when I saw the word 'threat'. Should I be worried? Is it my PC safe if all my antivirus programs tell me there are no threats?
Thank you for taking your...
I have had previous versions of adwcleaner and they have worked before up until some point (I can't remember the version that it stopped working). Anytime I try to run the program, entry point not found pops up along with *SQLite3.dll cannot be loaded. Please help.
Also, no I am not on acid either, just a username I like to use.
