Latest version AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 will not run on XP SP3 "Not a valid Win32 application".
EDIT: OK so I have just read on Malwarebytes forum that XP and Vista are no longer supported, fair enough, but you may want to drop XP and Vista from the "Compatible with" list on this page? https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

I had hoped that someone could have looked at my debug log and said if the problem would be fixed or support for XP was being dropped. Will the new version support XP?
Can you share us the whole Debug log file? You can use Up2Sha.re if you want, or just copy its content on your next answer.
Can you whitelist Teamviewer? ADWcleaner killed it today.
Thanks!

In the future always select advanced or expert options when installing, usually, they are hidden after that one checkmark. Additionally, you can do regu...
HillBilly I have been trying to get this problem fixed for months. 1 attempt to fix it failed a couple of months ago and I provided my log from 6.046 and have not heard anything since then.
As the program is written now there is no way of knowing there is a problem unless it is run in debug mode and the debug log is checked.
