Changing the standard account into admin allows to log in into the account. Changing it back into standard account brings back the failure to log in.

Actually, I get the same behavior on a newly created standard account: welcome, black screen and then logging off. I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Thanks!

Hi, After running AdwCleaner and reboot I cannot log anymore in into my standard Windows 7 account, I get a black screen and then it makes log off. This is an account without password protection. I ran AdwCleaner from inside that standard account, by entering the admin password when asked. Luckily, I can still log in into my admin account. Is there anything to fix this issue? If not, can I undo what AdwCleanr did? Thanks!

Here are most of the entries I could find. I believe the Hotspot Shield drivers might be the culprit. One user had a driver inside Device Manager. Replacing that driver with one from another working computer seems to have corrected the connection issue.

Couldn't remember password..so I made a new account.

@cocochepeau I emailed VIPRE about 2 days ago, and yes they confirmed: IT IS A FALSE POSITIVE. They said to make sure your software has the newest VIPRE definitions to the latest version (36814 or higher) and scan the file again...it found no threats to Adwcleaner.

So, it is safe to use!

Bonjour,

Les 2 dernières versions suppriment l'historique de "Windows Update".....

Pour être certaine de ce que j’affirme, j'ai fait 2 fois un restaure système. Sur ma restauration il y a des dates avec des mises à jours et après avoir utiliser "AdwCleaner", il n'y a plus aucune dates disponibles. Le seul moyen de les consulter est de passer par le "Programmes et fonctionnalités".

Je suis avec Windows 7 pro 64....

Bonne journée

Edelweiss

@merida72 It's a false positive. AdwCleaner do not come with viruses.
@keepon You can uninstall AdwCleaner thanks to his uninstall button available from his interface (just launch AdwCleaner, you'll see it).
@tonypl6 Thank you!
