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 ...

In hopes of making my two computers as safe as can be I went ahead and removed the various files that AdwCleaner detected in a scan. However, because I had issues with my computer's hardrive becoming corrupt recently, I'm worried that some of the registry files that were deleted might in fact be necessary ones. Can someone please let me know if this is the case? I've posted the content of the l...

I am having the same issue.  ***Caught unhandled unknown exception, terminating" & hangs up.

Hello,

We'll provide you with an answer asap but it's a tricky detection.

I am not, just a friendly individual who tries to help people solve problems and learn about the solutions myself :) What other virus scanners and anti-malware scanners have you tried?

I just installed version 7.0.2.1 which is newest release of Adwcleaner. I ran a scan and it came back clean. None of the previously detected Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility registry entries were detected by the scan...  Happy Days!!!

Thank you for fixing the problem...

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?

Is anyone from the AdwCleaner team able to comment about this yet?
