Re: AdwCleaner not responding during Cleaning stage.

Hello,

Before doing the clean, can you:

  • unselect the element "UCGuard" from the "Services" tab
  • unselect the element "C:\Windows\SysNative\drivers\ucguard.sys" from the "Files" tab

Then, do a clean, and share the generated logfile.

Thanks,

ADW Cleaner Not Responding when attempting to clean files

I use Win 10 64-bit.

Please help me. Thanks

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

I created new firefox profile using Profile Manager, then I copied all files fromt the old profile to the new one. AdwCleaner did not detect any suspicious files in that new profile folder, so I guess I'm good?

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

Hello,

Thanks M-K-D-B, sorry for misunderstanding.

@Simplex: Can you zip me the folder "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" and your profile: "4ui6vnjc.Simplex" ? I'll merge the two so that you'll find a clean profile, and you will be able to clean with AdwCleaner the malicious one.

Thanks,

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

You're right, nice catch! But that really is my main firefox profile. Did malware hacked its name, or what?

I searech for this profile ID and found in int he following places:

c:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41a66e7e5ee1

c:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41a66e7e5ee1

 

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

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

This element seems to be a FP caused by a generic detection.  

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.

It is related to Yondoo browser hijacker, I've seen multiple topics with this variant.

 

my suggestion:

Check profiles.i...

Firefox pref Found - what does this option do and why is it considered malicious?

Hi all.

I googled before asking but never found anything relevant... So AdwCleaner found 1 threat, this is what is says:

Firefox pref Found:  [E:\Profiles\Firefox\prefs.js] - "extensions.quick_start.sd.closeWindowWithLastTab_prev_state" -  false

Anyone knows what this config option does and why is it dangerous?

Thanks.

Re: AdwCleamer wants to delete my whole Firefox profile folder

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.

This element seems to be a FP caused by a generic detection.

Hello, this is my fist post. AdwCleaner is an amazing tool which saved my skin multiple times, but now I have an issue.

This is from the log:
