That’s not necessary. AdwCleaner does not “install” anything more than what I listed above. Hence why you don’t ever need to go to add/remove programs on the Windows Control Panel in order to “uninstall” the software.
To be more precise, the AdwCleaner executable is portable. It just creates an extra folder at the following location C:\AdwCleaner.
This still leaves windows thinking it is installed and eventually leads to trouble in add/remove programs and leftover registry entries. What is needed in an uninstall/cleanup program from Malwarebytes.
Well, in that case you can uninstall it by manually removing the C:\AdwCleaner folder (and all its content).
And then, just remove the AdwCleaner executable.
That's it.
Greetings,
Please run AdwCleaner in debug mode.
Thanks.
i will wait till the end of the month, if nothing happens till then i will switch to another tool.
they have already replied with a big lie..: -october-..
maybe they intended october 2018..??
what a shame..
now the only thing to do is to use ZHP Cleaner
lots of compliments..
:(
AC 7.0.8.0 downloaded here and from the MB link above compare exactly. The known problem described above occurs with all versions of AC 7.0.x specfically on (at least) Dell laptops running Win 7. Guess we're still hoping for AC 7.1.x, said to be in the works.
yes, It is still installed and will run..
Just ran it again this morning and it still fails. I did not do a dump, but it looks like it stopped in the same area.

Hello,
Since Malwarebytes handles AdwCleaner go here to get a reliable download https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/?ref=adw
there are no PUP's related to this download. Have a great day!
Greetings,
Do you mean C:\AdwCleaner is still present after running the "Uninstall" process?
Regards.
