Upon further investigation, this looks like malware's registry file that wasn't removed correctly, but the rest of the issue was
That seems rather unlikely, because the registery key was the only thing that was detected. To reiterate, before AdwCleaner's database update of August 25 my Adwcleaner scans (and other scans for that matter) were clean. In addition, other virusscanners weren't abl...
Browsing old threads and safe to say, that Locky won't be decryptable for quite some time. Considering that new versions of it are coming out, making it even more complicated to do anything. You can read more on Malwarebytes and The Hacker News. Even Kaspersky's attempts at that have failed. Hopefully, we can have the master key somehow, or a lucky break in decryption. Other than that, you can ...
There can be malware that prevents the full execution of Adwcleaner. Try using RKill and then doing a full scan with the new version that Coco has suggested.

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?

It would be nice wouldn't it? I am solving this myself, by uninstalling AdwCleaner and not recommending it to those requesting help on a forum where I am a mod. Too bad, very good tool, one of the best for removing PUP's but not going to sacrifice SpywareBlaster's ability to block them so ...

hello before using the tool it's good to read the informations and indications about it.
did you turn off your protections that could block the tool ?
it's possible to recover the files or registry keys in the options and selecting what you want to restore
What do you call 'good files deleted' ? windows' crack or something like this ? ^^ or a crapware or unwanted program ?
Regards
