AdwCleaner deletes some file but it reappears after Windows start-up

Hi there,

In some case i almost run AdwCleaner to scan my PC for more security but a few days that it finds suspicious registry keys.

Called:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814}

I asked AdwCleaner to delete it, and it was indeed deleted after rebooting and the report said it was deleted. I ran a second scan and AdwCleaner found not...

Adwcleaner 5.112 and Google Chrome 50.0.2661.75 m (latest version)

dans AdwCleaner par MIMOSA14

As i do everyday, today I scanned my computer with Adwcleaner after updating the 5.111 version to the 5.112 version, as the sftware advised me to do.

When the scan was finished (telling me no malicious software had been found on my computer), I was shocked to find out there no longer was a Chrome thumbsmark and therefore presumably my Google Chrome browser hadn't be scanned. It happens to be m...

Hello,

This is not a bug. Since v5.111, AdwCleaner has a new option called "Reset Chrome preferences" which effectively reset all chrome preferences. You can deactivate this option by unchecking it under "Options" menu.

SQLite3.dll

dans AdwCleaner par ****

So recently I had a BSOD that forced my computer to reboot, and one of the first things I did after my computer recovered was start scanning for viruses.  Nothing came up but I ran into a strange error with ADWCleaner when I tried using it: it said that it couldn't load SQLite3.dll.  I clicked ok and ADWCleaner closed.  I tried running ADWCleaner again but didn't get the SQLite3.dll error and i...

False Positive? C:\ProgramData\mntemp

AdwCleaner has found the following:

Folder Found : C:\ProgramData\mntemp

Folder Found : C:\ProgramData\Application Data\mntemp

-These appear during the startup of a program called Breakaway Audio Enhancer. I'm not sure if this is a FP or not. I've used Breakaway for a few years with no previous detections by AdwCleaner, but they have updated it for Windows 10 compati...

Hi :)

I do a cleanup of the installed software frequently, there should be not to much unknown.

Most of the programs you listed are installed since a while and known to me (some are quite famous like Corel or Paragon), only DocMgr is quite questionable - it isn't listed in the installed programs, and I can find it listed in the start menu.

I ran cCleaner to see if there are invalid registry...
