More than two weeks later, still same results as above. This is the longest I've ever gone without a clean scan result, and it worries me.

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

I cannot help you, I'm sorry. I wish I could, then we'd BOTH know what we're doing when we get results. I don't understand computers well enough to understand 9/10ths of what they even DO anymore.

Re: False positives?

@Hijin25

Please download the new version (7.0.1.0), it is available here: https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1-adwcleaner/

Then, launch a new scan and copy/paste the results log in your next answer.

Thanks.

Re: False positives?

Do you have the latest version installed? Have you tried the newest beta update of AdwCleaner? Kind of curious how in this case internet is affecting scan results.
