I think I have found a False Positive on 3.304. Scan has flagged AppleChargerSrv in Services and the file AppleChargerSrv.exe
This file has been on my PC since January 2013 from Gigabyte from my Motherboard which was new then. Although I do not use Apple it is not activated in services either. I have scanned the file with malwarebytes and McAfee I have a feeling this is a False Positive. Adwcleaner has never flagged this file before until now
Please, I need your help. After scanning my system with your product, I detected the following (from the report)

After the scan, Under Chrome found an Extension unknown.(see above)
Selected "Clean" - Program ran for a little then a message appeared:
Aut2Exe has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
The faulty chrome Extension was not removed. My system is now unstable and had several dumps (blue screen). Avast, ESET, Malwarebytes and other reported nothing, only AdwCleaner.
Again, my system is now unstable, AdwCleaner is detecting that Chrome Extension but does abort before removing it. Any idea of what the problem is.
Please, contact me at padi5star@gmail.com if you have a solution. I will be away from my computer for 10 days, but I can receive emails.
Thank you.
Try this agnot, worked like a charm for me.

Heads up folks: This may or may no be a neat little malware utility, but if you got any questions about it, you prolly ain't gonna get any answers here, sorry.
Re Tom1110: Try NOT to reformat your hard disk so soon unless you absolutely have to -- it's like doing brain surgery for a hangnail -- use this challenge as an exercise to discover, quarantine and delete the culprit -- whatever malware you got is annoying BUT try doing more research online using search terms combined with "Movie Mode" before you resort to reformatting. Combine your troubleshooting techniques with Safe Mode. Do you have a real security program that you've paid for and subscribe to? -- With it you'll be able to get some real professional tech support. Good Luck.
Greetings AdWareCleaner Users & Developers: I have QUESTIONS please - How come my adwcleaner as an installed application under Vista isn't listed under my "All Programs"? ... How Come adwcleaner deletes installed apps I paid for like my Paretologic Registry Cleaner and its PCHA? Are Registry Cleaners as a group considered potential adware or malware? ... Are they even worth having? Why is there even a tab for Registry Cleaner on AdWareCleaner? ... How come there isn't a preview screen that I can edit before AdwCleaner deletes or quarantines its targeted folders or files? ... The old version of AdWareCleaner I had was installed on my desktop, how come the new one isn't? ... Is there any relationship between AdwareCleaner and MalWareBytes? How can I get back deleted or quarantined applications, files, and folders? Is there a help file I can read to spare us all from my tedious annoying questions? Instead of donating i would prefer a paid application I could buy. Thank you. (and can you post answers to PeterR5@Hotmail.com with subject line "AdWareCleaner Queries")
I would like the code in which you can shut off all Open programs an processes.. I find this wonderful for system slimming, and of course malware removal :)
Bonjour, le scan VirusTotal du fichier AdwCleaner v3.212 donne un Ratio de détection de 4/54, dont détail ci-dessous (nom antivirus : nom malware). Peut-être s'agit-il par exemple de faux-positifs ou encore d'affichage (anti)concurrentiels, toujours est-il que je souhaiterais avoir votre éclairage sur ces résultats. Avec mes remerciements.

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.
