I was also having the same problem with the latest version (v3.303) crashing. I'm running Win 7 64bit. I took aniceguy10's advice below and downloaded the older version (v3.302) from AfterDawn, and that one now works flawlessly.
v3.302 same sqlite3.dll errors constantly when scanning for browser issues.
BTW this AdwareCleaner Forum needs a more practical and recognizable way to REPLY ... As it is now you have to post a new message that leads with RE: followed by the name of the person you're addressing -- and a lot of us are already at our wits end and a lot of messages here are getting lost in the shuffle, THANKS.
When the program quarantines a program, it marks every file in subfolders [filename].[ext].vir. A few hundred movie files were named in this way, would it be possible to change that behaviour so that only executables are marked in this way?
Help please - I run regularly AdwCleaner (most up to date) and I always find items flagged in Chrome - I click on the clean button and after rebooting I found the following:

I assume the Chrome items are delete. I run AdwCleaner again, and they seem to be gone. If I run again AwdCleaner a few hours later, the items are back. Where are they coming from? How can I clean them permanently? I do not have ask.com nor aol.com. Please, help.
Contact at pady5star@gmail.com - thanks

Estimados Amigos:
Los molesto porque tratando de instalar WhatsApp en la PC llegué desde Taringa a un Video de Youtube que explicaba el procedimiento y ofrecía los archivos correspondientes para la instalación del programa. Efectué la misma, la que en definitiva no funcionó por problemas con la tarjeta de video y desinstalé todo con Youruninstaller y específicamente con el paso profundo a fin de eliminar toda la basura. Luego corrí el TuneUp para limpiar el registro y también limpié el mismo desde el Ccleaner.
A pesar de todos estos resguardos comenzó a producirse el siguiente fenómeno cada vez que enciendo la PC: El Centro de Seguridad de Windows me avisa que se encuentra desactivado el Control de Cuentas de Usuario, se abre el navegador (tengo Firefox como predeterminado) y se direcciona a: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo1bu8Ay8os en forma automática.
Como precaución tengo deshabilitada la conección automática de internet al encender el PC por lo que activo el Control de Cuentas, cierro el navegador y no hay problema pero resulta muy molesto, ya que esta metodología es permanente.
Antes de molestarlos que hice:
1. Corrí un análisis completo desde Avast. Detectando un par de virus (no vinculados aparentemente con este tema) que eliminé. Tiempo de procesamiento ocho horas.
2. Corrí el Malwarebytes (que está residente) también completo y salió limpio.
3. Corrí el Adwcleaner que también limpió un par de temas.
La PC es una notebook que corre bajo Vista. Todos los análisis los corrí en modo normal. Debería intentar en el modo seguro? S.O.S.
Desde ya muchas gracias.
