AdwCleaner 7.0.4.0 not a valid application

dans AdwCleaner par dschulze

My AdwCleaner (7.0.3.1) says the program is out of date, and it leads me to https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ to get a new version (7.0.4.0). However when I download that version my OS says it's not a valid Win32 application.

I am running Windows 7 Home 32-bit.

caught unhandled unknown exception

When I run the program, it finds some issues.  I then go to clean them up and it give me the error message above?  How do i fix so it can clean up my computer.  Than you.

We used Malwarebytes 3 several times throughout the nearly a week and had no difficulties whatsoever running the program or having it clean. If you want the logs I have them and can send them to you.

No response in TWO days!

It sure would be nice if this could finally be fixed. It appears these problems with AdwCleaner and PUP.Optional.Legacy and PUP.Optional.AdvancedSystemCare  listings have been going on since the release of v. 7 months ago. The reply always seems to be . "Thanks for the details. We'll look into it". or "it will be fixed with the next update"

I for one have been helping...

Bonjour,

Même problème depuis deux jours avec la version 7.0.3.1(windows 10)

Message de Windows  en début d'analyse après la mise à jour "un problème a fait que le programme a cessé de fonctionner..."

J'ai désinstallé et réinstallé plusieurs fois le logiciel sans succès. Pas de blocage par BitDefender.

Cordialement

This is the only log available that says clean. This was done when he removed ALL check marks from all items found. Otherwise, when he removed check marks only from the registiry section the program did not go through with clean it just shut down. .

Hello,

This time he hit clean and the program closed, the computer shut down but when it rebooted it had not cleaned anything.

As per this thread; https://toolslib.net/forum/viewthread/13432-adwcleaner-7031-has-stopped-woring/

I had my friend try this suggestion;

Try to uncheck every registry element detected before pushing the Clean button. Then, it should work as expected.

It did not work. He tried in both normal mode, and received the message that "AdwCleaner stopped working" as soon as he hit clean. S...

I am helping a friend clean a grossly infected computer. Windows 10. Uses McAfee AV.

He then attempted to use AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1 but it would not complete cleaning and received a box with notification that a problem had stopped the clean....
