Agreed. One strange result after running AdwClnr v7 safe mode scan -- first time used search engine noticed it had been switched to duckduckgo -- figured it's a browser hijack of some sort so chgd search engine setting bk to google and removed duck from list.
I then searched for add ons and related software and found none. Ran v7 safe mode scan again next day. No unwanted objects found, but ag...
I did another scan being curious. It updated and the same thing happened again. Lots of immunized entries.
I had already uninstalled adwcleaner, cleared reg keys and left overs, got a fresh copy and updated.
I think the update is getting stuck maybe ? keeps reverting ? something corrupt with the update ? I'm not sure....
but I do know this has started happening since the new version of adwcl...
Glad you could solve the issue. And yeah, Malwarebytes is amazing, but I have found myself using ADWCleaner as well, there are something things one software doesn't clean as good as other, which is why it is always recommended to do multiple scans with multiple anti-malware solutions, just to be 100% sure.
Looks like safe with nw did the trick. Same two elements were identified, but this time the removal process included a step "cleaning chrome", which definitely wasn't in any of the other scans. When I restarted in regular mode and ran another scan with v7, there were "no unwanted objects found". Super psyched!!
Below are two log files -- first is the one generated after removal of two unwanted...

For whatever reason, whenever I try to download AdwCleaner, I get the message from my browser "The signature of adwcleaner_7.0.0.0.exe is corrupt or invalid." The same thing also happens with other versions I try to download.
Glad you solved the issue. Torch browser, unfortunately, is malware. It is what you would call Bundleware or PUP (Potentially unwanted program), usually bundled with other more used software as part to generate more file downloads and installs. In the future always select advanced or expert options when installing, usually, they are hidden after that one checkmark. Additionally, you can do regu...
The reason why it uses so many resources is that of its portability. Most anti-viruses you need to install and keep constantly running. However, while using ZHP, you can just run it whenever you chose so. Generally, Anti-virus software uses a decent amount of resources if your computer is weaker concerning specifications. The scan time is dependent on many factors, including your CPU and HDD/SS...
