Since PUP is a potentially unwanted software, it might not be an infection, just some rogue application running or installed on your PC. Do a thorough scan with Malwarebytes and see if it helps to deal with the issue. Also, you can try searching for the folder manually, as the path is listed and remove it that way. If you have issues, kill the process with the task manager and then remove it.
Here's the log... I still get that one PUP.Optional.Legacy result, dammit.
So it's really an infection after all?

hey, there was someone in here who commented on this thread with a link to how to remove some adware, the link was a tutorial or something on a website. I clicked on it to check it out but my AV blocked it as it was malicious (i didn't download or clicked anything just my AV blocked it), did i just got infected or what ? (the comments got deleted by someone) can anybody answer me please ?
Hello, never experienced problems with ADWcleaner, what happend since you are Malwarebytes? New CEO? The beta version tells me: PUP.Optional.DriverBooster But i have bought this registered program and installed for years and is not a PUP. Maybe for someone but nut for me. iTunes for me is a PUP but i need it for my bloody iPad.
the heuristic-scan had find these objects:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zoymm6ldf24t1w8/adwc_heuristic.jpg?dl=0
but these were log-files and not folders! perhaps this was the reason, why adwarecleaner can't delete it adn then crashed
I'have delteted these files manuel and now adware cleaner works well

Oops, You're right! Log files can't be deleted inside AdwCleaner 7.0.1.0 (it must be do manually in C:\AdwCleaner\ folder), but it's a minor problem beside the "Quarantine bug", indeed...
