I am helping a friend clean a grossly infected computer. Windows 10. Uses McAfee AV.
He ran Malwarebytes 3 without difficulty and it cleaned with no problem at all. I do have the log if needed but cannot find a way to attach the text file
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....
I'm afraid I got the same problem.
AdwCleaner version 7.0.3.1 stops working directly after the update phase.
The solution you offer is irrelevant since the program doesn't make it to the clean phase.

Same problem. Program doesn't make it to the clean phase.
Hello:
I just installed AdwCleaner 7.0.3.1 on a Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based System.
The post-clean Logfile has the following message:
***** [ Tasks ] *****
Deleted: Bitdefender Agent WatchDog_65D6944A0EF74FDAB96E31112AD39864
After a reboot and rescan the Bitdefender Agent WatchDog is tagged again as a threat but I believe this is a valid Bitdefender scheduled task.

Thanks for the details. We'll look into it.

Hello,
There was an issue with the 7.0.3.0 regarding the update notification feature. It's now fixed with the 7.0.3.1.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards.
Greetings,
Sorry for the late answer.
Try to uncheck every registry element detected before pushing the Clean button. Then, it should work as expected.
This issue is known and will be resolved with the release of the 7.1 version.
Regards.
Seems 7.0.3.1 is OK so problem is now resolved.
Thx
I tried using AdwCleaner version 7.0.3.1, but every time it stopped working.
I already tried "Mode > Debug", "Database > Local", Uninstalled AdwCleaner and running it as admin.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro with Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2018 (no warnings from Bitdefender).
AdwCleaner_7.0.3.0 keeps saying I am running an outdated version. Any ideas?
Thanks.
