ADWcleaner looking for non existent hard drive

dans AdwCleaner par jjjjjj

I've been using this software for years.  Today I ran it and it said "There is no disc in the drive.  Please insert a disk into Drive Device/hardisk/DR2".

 

I have tried running ADWC several times, including downloading it.  Checked my computer drives (C & D (data)) and they are fine.  Have no idea what this means.  To add insult to injury the only way to delete this popup is to use file mana...

New user - puzzling behaviour

Hi,

Just installed AdwCleaner v5.007 and ran it for first time.

I've uploaded the report here:

I'd appreciate advice on three points please:

1. Deleted folder

I don't understand how I should interpret these entries: ***** [ Folders ] *****

[-] Folder Deleted : C:\Docs\radio
[!] Folder Not Deleted : C:\Docs\radio
[!] Fold...

Without reason ADWcleaner deleted a VERY important folder for my work which I had on my desktop without recent backup!

I would highly recommend a few improvements that would have prevented or minimized the difficulties I experienced.

1. Display the Log File after the Scan is done, so that it's more obvious what was found before Cleaning starts. My Scan didn't find any "Services" to clean so my GUI didn't change. Even if a display had appeared to indicate I should check all tabs before Cleaning, I might have av...

Hmm, okay so it sounded so simple.

Where can I find the Log File? That option is greyed out when I load ADWCleaner.

Also, I can't seem to copy lines from Quarantine. I can highlight lines individually, and I click on "ALL" lines, but can't seem to copy them.

And, FYI, there are thousands of individual files in Quarantine now. If I could restore the whole folder, it would be fast, but copying...

Also, is there a faster way to restore files from Quarantine? The Restore function is incredibly slow.

I just ran ADWCleaner at the suggestion of the Reddit Techsupport forum, and it removed a very valuable folder.

I found the folder in Quarantine, but I feel that this needs to be looked at further.

The folder that was deleted was a save folder for a variety of modded Minecraft games. There is an online community on Reddit where these games are discussed, and a standalone Launcher that downloa...

Re: Windows W7 Home Premium -Clean Install

Greetings,

After a clean install, to clear up various snags, W7 has '123' updates to install. Then there's all the programs I had installed!

I've got to reload them all and this takes hours. There must be an easier way to get a clean install. Any suggestions? must be simple, as I'm an ancient silvery browser!
