Hopefully, you can understand English or google translate this. I know this is an old forum, but since it doesn't have a definitive answer, I'd like to share my experience and a solution. My friend had a similar couple of weeks ago. You are dealing with a redirect virus or some form of adware. Quite annoying really. I have used Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner to elevate the issue alongside these in...
I've used AdwCleaner 7.0.2.0 BETA2 on my PC (Windows 10 Pro x64) and I've encountered no problem with (except the alert box about outdated (beta) version you've just to cancel and "Quarantine bug").
Are you sure of integrity of binary file you've downloaded? MD5 checksum correct value for v7.0.2.0 beta2 must be: ce116e89dfb4b0df2a4128b0f8470e36
If the downloaded file is good, perhaps AdwClean...
After the posted logs, can you try launching the application in "Safe Mode" see if it works then? If it does, try to do a scan with both software.
@ fr33tux
I tried AdwCleaner on 2 different PCs, first one is mine running on Windows 10 x64 and the second that of a friend with Windows 7 32bits. On my PC, many previous versions of AdwCleaner had already been launched. On my friend's PC, it was the first use I believe (but it's not sure).
On my friend PC to disinfect, MiPony was installed and obviously AdwCleaner try to remove all traces o...
It's so weird though... I haven't encountered any of these issues or any previous issues regarding the launch. It just works every time. I am hoping Devs/Official representatives can comment on the situation appropriately.
Maybe a more detailed explanation is possible? Like application crashed mid scan, after the scan, before the scan, cannot launch it at all? Cannot update? There are a ton of issues that might be related to the error you mentioned.
Please download the new version (7.0.1.0), it is available here: https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1-adwcleaner/
Then, launch a new scan and copy/paste the results log in your next answer.
Thanks.
Have you had any other success determining the issue? Have you tried first scanning with Malwarebytes and then AdwCleaner afterward? What OS are you running and which version? Because that might cause an issue with compatibility (Very rare case). Try launching the application in the admin mode? This guide also has more info about compatibility, IF it is the issue. Speculating at this point. Let...
