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....

I just installed version 7.0.2.1 which is newest release of Adwcleaner. I ran a scan and it came back clean. None of the previously detected Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility registry entries were detected by the scan... Happy Days!!!
Thank you for fixing the problem...
A quick bump up the post to get admins/mods here to confirm and double check my concerns. Also, the other thread hasn't been confirmed by admins/mods as well. We will see how it turns out, could be just another bug with Adwcleaner.
I'm running adwcleaner version 7.0.1.0 and this is an issue even now and has been in the last few versions of adwcleaner.
It started with the version where you changed the programs interface.
Most of the time Adwcleaner finds five internet explorer active x registry entries but sometimes it can be over a hundred and the next time it's back to five again even though I have not done anything th...
Thanks, I much appreciate the input... It would also be much appreciated if one of the administrators would chime in on this topic to verify that all the "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries are truly FP's, and if so will there be an update to correct this.
In the thread, "False Positives V7" by, SWBUser, his log file also contains a long list of "ActiveX Compatibility" registry entries a...
ActiveX detections are usual FP's. Try doing an additional scan with Malwarebytes to confirm that. But I am fairly certain that these should not be detected. According to the internet and research that I did, ActiveX sets guidelines for processes, it can be exploited to some degree, but Adwcleaner would have removed them if found.
