I am so mad right now. I was working on a couple of documents while running adwcleaner scan. Toolslib developers, is it so hard to ask the user what is about to happen and await confirmation before closing all apps WITHOUT giving a chance for the user to save?! Not to mention the automatic reboot! Can't beleive this
AdwCleaner 6.010, false positive registry detection:
{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814} belong to IObit Uninstaller, and its very safe.
* [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814}]
* [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814}]
* [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814}]
Just downloaded this software and already its as buggy as hell:
AutoIt Error.
Line 10570 (file "C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\adware_6.000.exe")
Error: Variable used without being declared.
Can't get it to work, thanks for the headache.
I really appreciate what you do with this program. It's one hell of a program. I do have a suggestion, though:
I've noticed that, the more up-to-date it is, the slower it becomes...it takes quite some time for it to scan a system, despite using SSDs.
Could you split the scanning process among 4+ cores of the CPU so that the scanning speed is improved? Could you give the software 4 instances with Affinity specifically set to a CPU core? I believe doing that may improve its scanning time, especially on SSDs (which are usually the ones holding the entire Windows installation -> and this last one is what most infection target (Users folder, Windows, Program Data...)
Thank you again for your work on this great tool! No wonder it has so many millions of downloads
Hello from Ontario Canada. Thanks for the tools as always. Here's my bug report for adwcleaner v6.000
AutoIt Error
Line 10570 (File "C:\Users\username*\Downloads\Adwcleaner.exe"):
Error: Variable used without being declared.
version 6.0 .
Adwcleaner finds a threat in file web data located in C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default . The value is Search Provider and data is search.babylon.com.
I deleted it several times and it still can't be removed, even I deleted the whole Web data file.
Ich war genervt durch das Ständige sich selbst öffnen von Werbefenstern. Außerdem mußte ich immer aufpassen, dass ich nicht zufällig über markierte Wörter mit dem Mauszeiger fuhr, direkt wurde irgendeine Werbung eingeblendet. Anfangs dachte ich, dass muß so sein, weil ich diese Werbefenster immer auf den gleichen Finanz-Nachrichtenseiten hatte. Mit dem ADW Cleaner sind diese Probleme beseitigt. Die Prozedur ging schnell und einfach von statten. Nun hoffe ich, dass das Ergebnis nachhaltig ist.
I have a couple of false positives to report that keep getting flagged, but shouldn't be.
1. Under Scheduled Tasks, RunAsStdUser Task is C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe
This is a legit Directory Opus entry.
2. Under Shortcuts, C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\TeraByte Unlimited\TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro\Ready To Run Scripts\INISTART - Reset Windows Startup.lnk
This is a legit Terabyte Image for Windows shortcut.
@ibanez0r You're welcome to continue using our free version of GlassWire indefinitely. Our free software is extremely powerful on its own and it never expires or stops working. We chose to interface with the Windows Firewall API because the Windows Firewall is used by over a billion Windows users world-wide. Also we think software that disables the Windows Firewall feels sketchy to us, but maybe we're just paranoid. :)
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH FOR PROVIDING this superb TOOL. I sincerely recommend it to everyone who wants to get rid of the "other instance is running" popup every time you start your Computer because of that "Web Companion” virus that sneaks into your system a s a parasite alongside other apps on the web.
