Re: Adw Cleaner compatible Windows XP sp3

Hello,

The support for Windows XP has been dropped, following Microsoft decision to deprecate Windows Vista last April.

I encourage you to use MB3 (including the free version) which is still working on Windows XP.

Best regards,

Hello,

I run Windows10 Chrome -- got a malware popup when on tunein radio. Along with the following popup, a voice came on and said "your pc is infected with Malware, do not ignore this, etc:

Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 XP SP3

Hello,

Yes, it required too much work to support 1.5% of users on deprecated OSes..

However according to some feedbacks it seems that it *may* run on Windows Vista. Feel free to test and share your results!

If you need an official support for those two OSes, please use MB3 instead.

Best regards,

Re: Adw Cleaner compatible Windows XP sp3

rufus, I agree will all that you say. many users are probably unaware that the defs are NOT being updated.

I had hoped that someone could have looked at my debug log and said if the problem would be fixed or support for XP was being dropped. Will the new version support XP?

 

Re: Adw Cleaner compatible Windows XP sp3

HillBilly I have been trying to get this problem fixed for months. 1 attempt to fix it failed a couple of months ago and I provided my log from 6.046 and have not heard anything since then.

As the program is written now there is no way of knowing there is a problem unless it is run in debug mode and the debug log is checked.

Re: Can I remove these folders/keys safely with adware cleaner?

Greetings. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to do so. It looks like all the files and registries are not part of natural Windows process. Adwcleaner rarely has false positives. It is good that you are extra careful with what you are removing and how it works, but you have no worries here.

Can I remove these folders/keys safely with adware cleaner?

Need some help please, here is the log, thanks for any assistance:
