the change is effective with the definitions updates (automatically done at the beginning of a scan if you have an active network connection). You can copy/paste the logfile in your answer if you're unsure about which definitions you have).

Re: AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Good morning! So I re-ran AdwCleaner in Safe Mode, pressed Clean when it found 30 threats, and was once again prevented from a boot menu upon pressing F8 at startup. Argh!  

There is not a file called C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner_Debug.log.

AdwCleaner[C2] looks like this:

Re: AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Hey there,

I'm damn lucky because I had backed up my registry 2 days ago (I forgot until coming across another forum thread.) I just imported it into my registry and although the import did not fully complete (as some elements were currently in use), I WAS able to access the boot menu with F8 and choose Safe Mode after. Whew!

Next thing: AdwCleaner crashed on me at the end as I said, and it h...

Re: AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Hi, thanks for responding.

Well that should be good news!

Is the log file the same as the application file in Malwarebytes? It is not very detailed....

 

Here is the last file of the last scan I did (of several):

Re: AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Here is the logfile. Two were actually made, 15 minutes apart. This is the later one:

AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Hi,

I had some unwanted popups the other day and seemed to remove them.

As AdwCleaner is recommended for adware/pups, I thought I'd try it out to see if Malwarebytes found everything.

The scan itself was quick, but the removing part took longer, and when it got to the end it crashed (screen went wonky and discoloured, my disabled avira taskbar icon had a big red x through it) and restarted. ...

Re: You homies be messing up, but it's all good haha

Hello,

Indeed, it automatically checks if the definitions have been updated or not, and fetch them if needed.

Thanks for the feedback,

Here are some things to go by, tailored to you and leaving out more complicated things like NoScript:

 

1) Use Firefox as much as possible and not Internet Explorer, unless you really absolutely must.

2) Install these add-ons for Firefox: BetterPrivacy, Disconnect, Https Everywhere, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin
