@cocochepeau Hi, As, after AdwCleaner requested to restart the computer after scan and clean, I was not able to log in anymore into the standard account from where I ran AdwCleaner, Therefore I didn't get the report, but I guess it should still be somewhere on my computer. I ran again AdwCleaner but with starting the scan, just to see if it sees the report, but the Report button is grayed out. I downloaded several versions of AdwCleaner, so I may not ran the same version. I don't know if that matters. On the other hand, if I press uninstall (without actually starting the uninstall) I see the files from the quarantine, but not the changes made to the registry. For the files you may take a look at: http://1drv.ms/16uCsum

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!

@cocochepeau

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.

Bonsoir Xplode

AdwCleaner 4.109 détecte bien ColorMedia et propose la suppression des services cmwr et cmwfp ainsi que la suppression des fichiers C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwr.sys et C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwf.sys mais au reboot du PC les services et les fichiers annoncés comme supprimés par AdwCleaner sont toujours là!
Voici un extrait du fichier des logs:
***** [ Services ] *****

[#] Service Supprimé : ColorMedia
Service Supprimé : cmwf
[#] Service Supprimé : cmwr
[#] Service Supprimé : CMWFP

***** [ Fichiers / Dossiers ] *****

Fichier Supprimé : C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwr.sys
Fichier Supprimé : C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwf.sys

Cordialement

This latest version has many false positives. In favorites, i have a folder name 'online' it is detecting that folder. In registry, it is detecting IDM helper addon for IE (I have Internet download manager installed). In firefox, it is detecting an addon xpi file 'SuperDrag', i have been using this addon for months it is not a adware. Please fix this problems if possible.

Thanks a lot for this superb program.

After running you program the only things I could see listed were the files under the files tab. I selected them and selected the clean button. Your program cleaned them, closed my computer and rebooted. All seemed well until I went into my task manager. To my surprise under the processes tab, 82 Background Processes were listed in addition to 5 Apps. Many seemed to be duplicates (25) (Google Chrome (32 bit). Is this normal? Was it a mistake to delete those files? If so can it be reversed? If not why wasn't there a strong warning stating the consequences?

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
