Re: adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Hello,

Can you run AdwCleaner in debug mode? Click on "Options" then "Activate debug mode".

Run the scan. Even if it shows this error message, you should have a file called "Debug_XXXXX.log" under C:\

Please post its content in your next reply ( inside "code" tags )

adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Just like it says, after I updated to 5.105, I can no longer scan. After pressing scan I get an error popup with the message, "AdwCleaner's database cannot be loaded." I have tried re-downloading the .exe, restarting my computer and turning firewall completely off. But I get this error every time.

False Positive for Adwcleaner?

on AdwCleaner by ****

Hello,

I've recently done a scan on my computer with AdwCleaner - out of a couple of false positives, I can't figure this one out. I've tried looking it up, but no dice. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Is egui.exe in the registry a false positive?

Thanks, Xplode.  I have now downloaded and run the next version adwcleaner_5.105.exe, and it has found nothing.

Re: why couln't remove 'albireo"

Hello,

Please download and run the latest AdwCleaner's version ( v5.104 ). It should disinfect infected DNSApi.dll files. There was a bug in v5.103 which caused AdwCleaner to detect but not disinfect these files.

Regards.

Adwcleaner 5.103 scan registry false positive ?

Here we go : 

***** [ Registry ] *****

Key Found : HKLM\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\Image File Execution Options\MsMpEng.exe

 

Even if this .exe could result of some performance hit on some PC i don't think delete this registry will have good result for the OS.

So ?
