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....
Hello,
This is out of the scope of AdwCleaner. I invite you to use Malwarebytes 3 for this issue: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/309-malwarebytes/
Here are some more informations about CCleaner 5.33: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/2017/09/infected-ccleaner-downloads-from-official-servers/
Feel free to ask if you need more details/help.
Regards.
The fact that this is Spanish(Maybe?) makes it very VERY difficult to read.... Any way you could turn it into English? On the first glance noticed some things that MIGHT be potential issues, unsure, cause..... I am not yet used to reading the logs, and different language doesn't help the issue :)

Of course sorry.
If you see something that is not translat...
Ports, applications, accessibility. Maybe your other device is used a lot less, you haven't messed with any ports or have any applications that require forwarding. Honestly, very weird issue, I would need to investigate the files. Can you scan your PC With Farbar MiniToolBox and Malwarebytes JRT? Post the logs that you get.

MiniToolBox by Farbar Version...It looks like your PC's DHCP IP's have been altered maliciously not too long ago. Which it would make sense why one PC detects it, and another doesn't. Default addresses can be hijacked and used for malicious intents. It is hard to say whether it is a false positive or not. You could always reset your PCs IP's and router to see if that solves the problem.

Hello,
Let me disagree with you :)
Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 in 32 & 64 bits.
This is written at download page. So XP is not supported. And please look at this link - https://toolslib.net/forum/viewthread/3789-ru-dokumentaciya-adwcleaner/ So you can see that in spite of Russian language - site I gave in previous message is quite legitimate and it in accordance with fr33tux at ...
Got 2 viruses and the AdwCleaner freezes @20% during removal. Microsoft Security Essential and Malwarebytes does not detect these viruses.
No1: PUP.Optional.YahooChrome. Registry[HKLM] SOFTWARE\Yahoo\SS
No2: PUP.Adware.Heuristic C:\programData\{D19C2D22-6043-47E7-B400-83A351841204}
Haw, can I remove it?
Interesting development. Thanks for the logs, as expected they are clean. Successful removal could indicate that Adwcleaner stopped the threat further or was a false positive. Honestly, everything related to Yahoo is a massive security hole for me, and I would avoid it as much as possible.
Upon further investigation, this looks like malware's registry file that wasn't removed correctly, but t...
Hi there,
I just have some questions about your program.
1: Does AdsFix have a pause button? During the analyzing sequence it took over 4 hours to scan (and that was at 57%), I didn't expect it to go for so long.
2: When I pressed escape on the keyboard; when it was analyzing, the computer froze up and windows was seizing. Followed by a frozen screen and I had to hard reset the computer. ...
