Did AdwCleaner Remove Required Registry Files?

In hopes of making my two computers as safe as can be I went ahead and removed the various files that AdwCleaner detected in a scan. However, because I had issues with my computer's hardrive becoming corrupt recently, I'm worried that some of the registry files that were deleted might in fact be necessary ones. Can someone please let me know if this is the case? I've posted the content of the l...

Re: Win XP support

I am not sure, but I think there is a library of legacy Adwcleaner installations for older software if the new ones do not work. I just looked at compatibilities for the newest version, it appears that it should work with WinXP. What issues are you experiencing?

Also avoid the link above, not only it is Russian, but also illegitimate. 

Edit: Interestingly enough it isn't. Not sure where I loo...

Win XP support

Can you please make a working winXP version, or at least leave last working version easily accesible?

There are a lot of customers who still use XP specially in the third world where upgrades are not so cheap, and they refuse to update whats working.

Re: False Positives V7

Yep, all fixed - thanks very much.  SpywareBlaster (SWB) updates its data base about every two weeks.  Can you tell me if the fix was such that it will no longer generally report SWBs preventative measures?  I fully accept that the odd false positive can happen but the quantity had become very high of late.

100% False Positive, but not good for me!

Hello reader, I using another new browser called Torch (torchbrowser.com) and I really hate, that ADWCleaner thing that Torch Browser is adware, can be that fixed? Its only normal browser based on Chromium, nothing bad in the browser, but the worst thing is, everytime I need to reinstall the browser after ran ADWCleaner, Thanks for help

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

I just installed version 7.0.2.1 which is newest release of Adwcleaner. I ran a scan and it came back clean. None of the previously detected Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility registry entries were detected by the scan...  Happy Days!!!

Thank you for fixing the problem...

 

Re: False Positives V7

Is anyone from the AdwCleaner team able to comment about this yet?

It would be nice wouldn't it? I am solving this myself, by uninstalling AdwCleaner and not recommending it to those requesting help on a forum where I am a mod. Too bad, very good tool, one of the best for removing PUP's but not going to sacrifice SpywareBlaster's ability to block them so ...

Re: General Question about AdsFix

hello before using the tool it's good to read the informations and indications about it.

did you turn off your protections that could block the tool ?

it's possible to recover the files or registry keys in the options and selecting what you want to restore

What do you call 'good files deleted' ? windows' crack or something like this ? ^^ or a crapware or unwanted program ?

Regards
