Re: Adwcleaner freezes during removal of viruses.

There can be malware that prevents the full execution of Adwcleaner. Try using RKill and then doing a full scan with the new version that Coco has suggested.

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

 

Re: False Positives V7

Since V7 I've been getting false positives on all my machines - often ones reported by others.  I suspect they are down to using SypwareBlaster.  This is an old but quite safe program which puts kill bits in the registry to prevent undesireable stuff running.  I think it would be worth installing SpywareBlaster then "enabling all protection", then see what ADWCleaner makes of it.  Thanks.

False Positive v7?

Today I stumbled upon this detection whilst using Adwcleaner 7.0.1.0:

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

PUP.Optional.YahooChrome, [Key] - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Yahoo\SS

Afterwards I scanned with other virusscanners (Malwarebytes, MBAR, and Roguekiller) and none of them detected aforementioned registery key. Thus, it seems like a false positive generated by adwcleaner. 

Can someone confirm this?

Kind regard...

You are aware, I assume, that the buggy version is the BETA version, 7.0,2.0. The current  version 7.0.1.0 works perfectly well with Windows 10 64bit. Unless you are a BETA testor you should not be using TEST versions.

Re: Start\Windows icon

Well, thanks, but I confess to not getting on with Tweaking.com. using it ususally ends up with things more worse than they were before. But thanks for suggestion.

Re: More false positives

You know that, i know that, but a schoolstudent does not. As a servicedeskmanager i have been promoting adwcleaner for years on our schools but now it's causing confusion among collegues and other cliënts when adwcleaner is stating that there might be a problem or maybe something is a PUP while there isnt anything wrong. I understand there's a behavior pattern wich puts it in a categorie for ma...
