Hello,

This is not a bug. Since v5.111, AdwCleaner has a new option called "Reset Chrome preferences" which effectively reset all chrome preferences. You can deactivate this option by unchecking it under "Options" menu.

This is stupid since most people have chrome customized to their preferences and don't want to do it all over again just because...

Hello,

This is fixed. Sorry for the inconvience.

There's a problem with the signature of the new adwcleaner 5.111 ("Unknown Publisher"). Downloaded from toolslib.net site itself. You guys should fix this. Not running a (potentially hacked?) tool like this.

Hi,

You are right, we could have invest about what was creating those pop-ups. In fact a search on the registry with the url of the pop-ups could have worked since a great part of the IE configuration is set under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.

We will do that next time !

Some recommendations, as Internet Explorer is not really consider as the safer web browser, I...

Hi, me once more :-)

It seems reseting IE solved the problem, after it no more strange tab opening happend in IE till now.

I uninstalled and enabled debug again, generating log file and I'll post it. I'll have to get back with you gentlemen on monday to read any replies though, I have a flight in a few hours and it takes a while to get checked in.

I downloaded a fresh copy from the site and ran it, still giving BSOD. Waiting for the machine to restart to check the log.

Bonjour,

Depuis la v5.111, AdwCleaner n'effectue plus de recherche dans le fichier de préférences de Chrome. A la place, une option "Réinitialiser les préférences Chrome" est disponible et celle-ci effectue le nettoyage des préférences.

L'option a été ajoutée car la précédente méthode de nettoyage ne fonctionnait pas correctement.

Cordialement,

Can you try de-quarantine both keys that were deleted by AdwCleaner? ( Run it, click on "Tools" -> "Quarantine" )

Does that solve your problem ?
