My AdwCleaner 6.0.3.0 download from the ToolsLib website is giving a security warning. I am happy with the service and the software but I need a safe download for Windows XP, as my XP computer and Google browser are no longer supported. I can't afford to upgrade my old Dell computer at this stage. Your help please?
Hi there, I've experienced a common issue faced by some other users as well. Whenever I selected "Clean" after the Scanning process, the program turned into Not Responding and freezes up my computer. Here's the log for Scanning. http://textuploader.com/d5ma1

I am certain that when I told adwcleaner to delete this folder, my firefox pro...

Sorry, but I don't think so.
There are - only at the german TB forum - at least 50 topics with this ff profilename "41A66E7E5EE1".
Usually, every ff profilename is almost unique, 41A66E7E5EE1 isn't unique.

Hello,
Sorry I was unclear. You can deselect the element "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" from the "Folders", and do a clean.

You mean this?
Thse issuses are in the log every time I do a scan. Either AdwCleaner does not remove them, or I still have some residual malware which puts it back.
Hello,
This detection is triggered by the fake firefox profile generic, which is a FP in your case.. Please uncheck it before cleaning.
Can you share the whole logfile too?
Thanks,
Greetings,
Are you receiving this precise message: "The User Profile Service failed the logon"?
