Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

  1. Please relaunch AdwCleaner,
  2. Click on Tools > Options,
  3. Here, tick "Debug" in the "Mode" section,
  4. Then, do a scan.

When the results are shown, unselect the file "C:\WINDOWS\SysNative\drivers\ucguard.sys" and then click on the [Clean] button.

Please share the generated logfile shown at the reboot (also located at C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[Cxx].txt.

Samwellajackson, Until instructed otherwise. I can try and help you out until Fr33tux or cocochepeau respond. 

Have you tried booting into safemode and Deleting the C:\WINDOWS\SysNative\drivers\ucguard.sys file manually? If not I'd create a system restore point and try that.

Re: AdwCleaner needs a .dll for running

Hello,

You can't use any sqlite3.dll file, AdwCleaner uses a very specific one. We'll need some cleaning before:

- Launch AdwCleaner, ignore the error message. Click on File > Uninstall.

Then:

  1. Download CCleaner from here, and install it.
  2. Start CCleaner (there should be a shortcut on your Desktop)
  3. Go in Options tab > Advanced, untick Only delete Windows temporary files older than 24 hours....

Re: Unable to get rid of a file through AdwCleaner

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

We'll use FRST to remove the remaining stuff:

Download fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop (with the name "fixlist.txt")

NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
