COMMENT OUVRIR UN FICHIER .EXE

Message erreur : The setup files are corrupted.

Please obtain a new copy of the program.

Version 7.2.3 didn't fix false positives (SpywareBlaster immunization), but now it also detects two new items :

Bonjour,

Au lancement d'ADWcleaner_7.2.2, j'ai le message suivant :

"Cette application ne peut pas s'exécuter sur votre PC

Pour trouver une version pour votre PC, renseignez-vous auprès de l'éditeur de logiciels"

Mon PC : 

HP Pavillon, AMD A4-6300 APU with Radeon (tm) HD , RAM 8 GO ; système 64 bits ; Windows 10 famille.

Avez-vous une solution ?

Merci d'avance

The items listed under domains in the original post will have been given a value of 4 in the registry.  This figure means they are "blocked" (by SpywareBlaster or whatever) so should never be reported by ADWCleaner.  We have had this type of FP before so it seems ADWCleaner needs to be programmed to ignore those with that value.

I got the exact same results after downloading version 7.2.2, so it probably is a FP.

No detection with version 7.2.1

All these reg keys are restricted sites in IE11 (SpywareBlaster protection).

Greetings. I have these two detections:

PUP.DownloadProtect.Heuristic   HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\POLICIES\GOOGLE\Chrome

PUP.DownloadProtect.Heuristic   HKLM\SOFTWARE\POLICIES\GOOGLE\Chrome

Are they false positives or a real threat?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your kind feedback! :)

Thank you!   I did get rid of some Ad issues using another program. spybot, but it brings some minor issues with it. Also, it is not free.
