Advanced System Care

I've been using IObit's advanced system care and other progs for a long time now, on recommendation of a techie.  I have successfully told Malwarebytes not to remove it, although Mb obviously hates it.  However, I've just had a problem with recurring PUPs and thought I'd turn to ADW because my current stronger package is playing silly-b's since a recent update.  But it just came up with a board...

I can send files from my firefox profile if that helps (I did...

Re: Win XP support

dans AdwCleaner par fr33tux

Hello,

There is a possibility to realize an XP support in current version.

Yes.

I wrote back in August to fr33tux and sent him screens with explanations on how to add XP support to your project. So for now it seems like a MBAM PR action that you don't want to realize such support (though you can).

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. .

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

I had my friend try this suggestion;
