Interesting development. Thanks for the logs, as expected they are clean. Successful removal could indicate that Adwcleaner stopped the threat further or was a false positive. Honestly, everything related to Yahoo is a massive security hole for me, and I would avoid it as much as possible.
Upon further investigation, this looks like malware's registry file that wasn't removed correctly, but t...
Since V7 I've been getting false positives on all my machines - often ones reported by others. I suspect they are down to using SypwareBlaster. This is an old but quite safe program which puts kill bits in the registry to prevent undesireable stuff running. I think it would be worth installing SpywareBlaster then "enabling all protection", then see what ADWCleaner makes of it. Thanks.

Hello,
Since you're booting from a DVD, the 5 minutes boot time seems reasonable. When you boot from this kind of support/device, a lot of things are loaded in the RAM itself. It also depends on the max speed provided by your disk reader.
Are you suggesting I boot from the ISO itself on disk? If so, I don't know how to do that.JW01, 2017-08-16 14:20:15 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure it isn't doable...
Thanks for your reply.
Not sure I understand the relevance of HDD speed. And anyway my disk boot times are OK. Also I don't have a WinXP ISO but a Windows XP system. And no VM is involved.
Maybe I wasn't clear.
I have a Windows XP system and two 8TB disk drives which XP doesn't support. To solve this problem I got the Win10PESE ISO from ToolsLib, burned it to DVD and booted from that DVD (w...
Greetings,
Downloaded the program about 10 minutes ago. Ran program and got the error messsage that says the program is outdated. Are you now working in the future and posting programs that we cannot see yet?

This issue is known and will be resolved in a couple of hours. In the meantime, you can just discard the outdated version message. Sorry for the...
A closely related issue is the lack of distinguishing version numbers. There seem to have been several 7.0.1.0 betas, followed today by a non-beta 7.0.1.0. Could each file be named dfferently — it's confusing when you run 7.0.1.0, and a notice pops up telling you to update your file, and the file on the website is still called 7.0.1.0.

Hello I didin't see this topic before.
Do you really think that if it was a bad file , all the best and known antiviruses ( DrWeb, Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, etc.....) could mark it as safe ?
Please, think before posting
