I use AdwCleaner on a lot of home computers, and they invariably are using AOL. AdwCleaner seems to think the AOL toolbar is malicious along with a bunch of registry entries pertaining to AOL. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think this is true. I'd like to request that you add an option to ignore AOL so that the install of AOL does not get corrupted by deleting parts of it.

Ok, so just open the logfile by using notepad, then use CTRL + A to select the whole text, then CTRL + C to copy it, then in your answer, use the icon "add an extract of code" between add an image and add an array.

If you don't find the "add an extract of code" function, just paste the contents of the log in your answer.

Hello,

Possible solution on win xp sp3. Rename Adwcleaner_5.021.exe to Adwcleaner.exe. This may also work on versions 18 and up. It may have to do with Avira safe search interfering with it.

Hi again,
This time it ran completely as I had always seen without showing any error :) Was there a bug in the program, or my laptop was causing it not to run properly?
Hi,
Thank you for your help Xplode.
Just ran it again and it showed an error once again. I began recently facing this error when running Adwcleaner and it previously worked great for me. I have even ran some anti malware and antivirus but they didn't catch any harmful items, just the usual junk files.
What do you think it might be causing this problem? I performed a clean install on this lap...
Howdy, I sent the author of bloody vikings your way a while back. I'm here today because two extensions I regularly use are being detected by adwcleaner.
1. "ClassicThemeRestorer" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/versions/ (I am using the developer/beta edition.)
2. "SavedPasswordEditor" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saved-password-editor/
...Thanks for your comments prston - I am keen to use AdWare and am assuming this is a false positive but as I cannot get it past Norton I need to report that this is the case and hope the situation can be resolved with Norton so I can benefit from using it.
Hello Alexander13,
Normally, ADWCleaner is able to remove adware even on 64-bits computers.
In fact I suspect that if the adware is not remove, it is because ADWCleaner don't know him yet, but if it is the case I will warn it's developper.
To be sure, I need the ADWCleaner log, you will find him in :
