OK, this issue is known and will be fixed in the upcoming 7.1 version.
In the meantime, we can try to use AdwCleaner in Safe Mode. It works sometimes.
Here is how you can boot Windows 7 in Safe Mode : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/
Then, just launch AdwCleaner again and do a scan/clean.
Hi guys,
I installed the other 'some' tool and while installig this other tool my windows 7 box got infected with
'lavasoft web companion'
obivouly my first weapon of choice was to pick up a new vesion of adwcleaner.
However the currenct version 7.0.4.0 seems of have problems removing the above named spyware.
However I partialy managed to remove some elements of lavasoft web companion....
Greetings,
My apologies if this is duplicated elsewhere.

No worries. :)

Hello,
I can send files from my firefox profile if that helps (I did a full text search on all files in my profile for text string "area51buy.com" but nothing relevant was found)Simplex, 2017-11-09 12:10:12 (UTC)
Yes, please do. I'm sure we'll find a solution.
Also,
Can you give me the list of your installed addons - in Firefox?
Also, please share the AdwCleaner/Malwarebytes logfiles.
