Re: Cannot remove Bing from Firefox, even with ADWCleaner (this reposted from Toolslib)

Re: Folder deleted by mistake

hello cocochepeau, any idea yet how to get back or get rid of the unknown owner in these folders and files? 

kind regards from the tyrol ernst  

Re: Folder deleted by mistake

Yes, the two folders are in place but many of the files and folders have an unknown ownership wich cannot be altered - it leads to 'access denied'

 

Re: Folder deleted by mistake

Hello,

Thank you for the logfiles.

Can you confirm that these two folders are still in place:

  • C:\orlando
  • C:\Users\Rundschau\AppData\Roaming\orlando

Re: ADWcleaner wants to remove Reimage Repair

OK, downloaded it, installed and ran.

IMHO, this is simple so called scareware. It found on my system one "trojan"

This is driver from well known tool AVZ. And I haven't tool to decline this "cure" and more, I have to buy a key to do something with this detection.

Folder deleted by mistake

c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\AGData

C:\ProgramData\AGData

C:\Program Files\AG...
