Re: Computer Infected, AdwCleaner won't download

I installed Opera browser recently, and then uninstalled, but I think Opera may also have something to do with my computer acting up...And I just realized NOTHING from this site will download! I can download from other websites. Not sure what's going on...

 

Computer Infected, AdwCleaner won't download

Hi, I have Windows 8 and I recently had my computer infected with the ShopAtHome toolbar and possibly other Malware. AdwCleaner won't even start to download, it just says failed. Can anyone help me? Is there an alternative download site?

Can anyone help me identify if any of these deleted registry keys are essential for windows?

Whenever I try to scan for Adware after about 75% of the bar is finished it randomly stops and pops up a message AdwCleaner has stopped working

Please help

Re: ADWCleaner has deleted 1 GB of my programdata folders - nothing in quarantine list - but they are in quarantine folder - how to restore?

Seems like all of your network devices are out of date. Including Nvidia streaming service which could be a cause, since it does have light exploits to DNS changing. Adwcleaner -> Update your drivers to the latest, if you can Boot Windows "safe mode with networking" and update everything there. Let me know if that solves the issue. Also, farbar flushed your DNS so you should be good for now.

The fact that this is Spanish(Maybe?) makes it very VERY difficult to read.... Any way you could turn it into English? On the first glance noticed some things that MIGHT be potential issues, unsure, cause..... I am not yet used to reading the logs, and different language doesn't help the issue :)

Ports, applications, accessibility. Maybe your other device is used a lot less, you haven't messed with any ports or have any applications that require forwarding. Honestly, very weird issue, I would need to investigate the files. Can you scan your PC With Farbar MiniToolBox and Malwarebytes JRT? Post the logs that you get.

Re: False Positives V7

Just to add that SWB has just updated its data base and I've immunised the usual quantity.  Pleased to report that I ran AdwCleaner afterwards and there were no new reports.  Seems I've answered my last question.

Many thanks - pleased to see you've fixed it..
