Hello!

I have windows 10 64-bit, and have gotten some infestation of SEARCHING.COM adware lately. I came across this tool which scanned all the malicious objects in my system including the registry keys and scheduled programs. 

However when I click the "Clean" button, my PC crashes (with a blue screen saying CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED). I tried to check the Debug Log, but there are no entries for ...

I know there is an advanced anti-malware program that can deal with browser hijackers, adware and potentially unwanted programs. Download it here.

Well, ADWCleaner wins.  I did another check and found a series of PUPs that were not present before I installed Reimage Repair.  Now I've got to try to find another program that will work as well as Reimage Repair did.  It really did fix a lot of problems.  Of course, trying to infect my system with PUPs and adware doesn't endear the program to me.  

Thank you for everything.

If there was something other than Reimage Repair, I might understand, but, that is ALL that ADWcleaner found.  I've done some checking, and depending on the source, some think Reimage is PUP/Adware, and some don't.  All I know is, it cleared up a number of problems I was having, so I'm kind of reluctant to remove it.

I don't know why, but every time I run ADWCleaner it wants to remove Reimage Repair.  I don't want this removed.  

Can anyone tell me why ADWCleaner wants to?

May you try a check with MBAM first since it may be malicious:

For number two this is the link: https://up2sha.re/file?f=AmUJmOagpQBY

And the antivirus doesn't seem to show notifications. I guess it's done! Thanks a lot!

If the notification appears I will notice you.

So,

Once again, sorry for the delay.
