Re: New AdwCleaner v5.019 crashes in winXP

This worked for me. from Adwcleaner download page:

  • bamacola said about 5 hours ago:

    Possible solution on win xp sp3. Rename Adwcleaner_5.021.exe to Adwcleaner.exe. This may also work on versions 18 and up. It may have to do with Avira safe search interfering with it. Once I removed Avira safe search from registry (IE browser entries) using adwcleaner.exe it would then run adwcleaner_5.021....

I don't really know what could cause this kind of bug. It's probably due to the configuration of your computer. But we can try debugging it if you have the time.

First of all, can you download this file and run it : http://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/up/17959594961240255/Debug.exe

It's just to make sure that the error comes from the external library ( the above file is not AdwCleaner, it's ...

Hi again,

Ok, it appears that your error comes from an external library that AdwCleaner uses to parse Chrome preferences file. It's weird because this error appears only on a few computers...

Can you retry with this version ( just run it and tell me if you still have the error, do not post debug logfile ) : http://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/up/17959594961240255/AdwCleaner_DBG.exe

Regards,...

Brilliant. Can confirm Norton released adware from quarantine and icon appeared on my desktop this morning. Many thanks.

Re: AdWare unable to clean DNSUnlocker

Can you find this adware on your Programs and Features? If you can see it there, you will be able to uninstall DNS Unlocker from your computer. And then you need to check if malicious browser extensions haven been added to your Chrome. You can get rid of it by following the removal guide in this post.

Thanks for your comments prston - I am keen to use AdWare and am assuming this is a false positive but as I cannot get it past Norton I need to report that this is the case and hope the situation can be resolved with Norton so I can benefit from using it.
