Major difficulties with AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1

I am helping a friend clean a grossly infected computer. Windows 10. Uses McAfee AV.

He ran Malwarebytes 3 without difficulty and it cleaned with no problem at all. I do have the log if needed but cannot find a way to attach the text file

He then attempted to use AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1 but it would not complete cleaning and received a box with notification that a problem had stopped the clean....

Vrai ou faux Adware ? (Is this a false positive? )

Bonjour,

Hello,

Sorry for the late answer - busy days..

Malwarebytes comes with a free trial period (14 days). Here are some more details about the trial period: https://malwarebytes.com/trial/

There shouldn't be any conflict with McAffe LifeSave.

Re: CCleaner Malware

Thanks für your reply!

MalwareBytes 3.0 is as far as it seems to me free software too?

If I install Malwarebytes 3.0 in order to scan my PC ... will there be any conflict with McAffee LifeSave?

I assume not because I already have McAffee LifeSave and AdwCleaner in parallel on my PC since years ...

Please advise  ... thanks again in advance!

Re: CCleaner Malware

Hello,

This is out of the scope of AdwCleaner. I invite you to use Malwarebytes 3 for this issue: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/309-malwarebytes/

Here are some more informations about CCleaner 5.33: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/2017/09/infected-ccleaner-downloads-from-official-servers/

Feel free to ask if you need more details/help.

Does Adwcleaner detect/remove the Malware installed by CCleaner 5.33? Please advise, thanks!

Re: Can anyone help me identify if any of these deleted registry keys are essential

Greetings,

First of all, sorry for the late answer.

Can you share the scan logfile as well? Thanks.

Regards.
