The tool couldn't kill the adware

I have used the tool trying to remove an adware, but no results.

The fact that this is Spanish(Maybe?) makes it very VERY difficult to read.... Any way you could turn it into English? On the first glance noticed some things that MIGHT be potential issues, unsure, cause..... I am not yet used to reading the logs, and different language doesn't help the issue :)

Ports, applications, accessibility. Maybe your other device is used a lot less, you haven't messed with any ports or have any applications that require forwarding. Honestly, very weird issue, I would need to investigate the files. Can you scan your PC With Farbar MiniToolBox and Malwarebytes JRT? Post the logs that you get.

Re: Start\Windows icon

Have you noticed anything else weird/out of the ordinary on your PC? Can you try booting into Windows "Safe mode with networking" and see if you can do any of the actions through that. Otherwise, I would recommend doing a thorough malware check just in case.

Re: False positives?

Since PUP is a potentially unwanted software, it might not be an infection, just some rogue application running or installed on your PC.

If you have issues, kill the process with the task manager and then remove it.

the heuristic-scan had find these objects:

but these were log-files and not folders! perhaps this was the reason, why adwarecleaner can't delete it adn then crashed

I'have delteted these files manuel and now adware cleaner works well
