AdwCleaner won't DELETE files. PLEASE HELP!!

They are registry files that are ...

Re: AdwCleaner crashes my laptop running Windows 10

Hello,

Seems strange, but we'll need to have a look to the logfile to confirm that it's indeed AdwCleaner the cause of your issue, but it's very unlikely.

I think it is due to the removal of a map "Windows/sources" but I am not a specialist.

Re: AdwCleaner can't remove something

Hello,

Ok. This key is created by IOBit, which recreates it if missing. I advise you to uninstall IOBit then if you don't require it specifically.

Re: AdwCleaner can't remove something

When AdwCleaner freezes (Not Responding) its usually caused by the service ucguard which it finds, but can't remove. Google FreeFixer, download and install it, then disconnect from the Internet, close your browser and run it. It will find the ucguard.sys file and tick the box to remove it (run Fix). Run AdwCleaner agian and you should find that ucguard has gone. If it has, you can reconnect th...
