Upon further investigation, this looks like malware's registry file that wasn't removed correctly, but the rest of the issue was
That seems rather unlikely, because the registery key was the only thing that was detected. To reiterate, before AdwCleaner's database update of August 25 my Adwcleaner scans (and other scans for that matter) were clean. In addition, other virusscanners weren't abl...
Browsing old threads and safe to say, that Locky won't be decryptable for quite some time. Considering that new versions of it are coming out, making it even more complicated to do anything. You can read more on Malwarebytes and The Hacker News. Even Kaspersky's attempts at that have failed. Hopefully, we can have the master key somehow, or a lucky break in decryption. Other than that, you can ...
There can be malware that prevents the full execution of Adwcleaner. Try using RKill and then doing a full scan with the new version that Coco has suggested.
Got 2 viruses and the AdwCleaner freezes @20% during removal. Microsoft Security Essential and Malwarebytes does not detect these viruses.

It would be nice wouldn't it? I am solving this myself, by uninstalling AdwCleaner and not recommending it to those requesting help on a forum where I am a mod. Too bad, very good tool, one of the best for removing PUP's but not going to sacrifice SpywareBlaster's ability to block them so ...
Greetings. Please do paste the log. Also, weird reaction, it shouldn't take 4 hours for 50%. It could have been malware trying to prevent further execution of the software, had that happen before. And I am not sure if there is a way to recover your files, official representatives should comment on this matter.
Interesting development. Thanks for the logs, as expected they are clean. Successful removal could indicate that Adwcleaner stopped the threat further or was a false positive. Honestly, everything related to Yahoo is a massive security hole for me, and I would avoid it as much as possible.

Sure, here they are:
