I've been using IObit's advanced system care and other progs for a long time now, on recommendation of a techie. I have successfully told Malwarebytes not to remove it, although Mb obviously hates it. However, I've just had a problem with recurring PUPs and thought I'd turn to ADW because my current stronger package is playing silly-b's since a recent update. But it just came up with a board...
Looking forward to the next version of AdwCleaner. Hopefully this will resolve this issuse.

Sure thing! I'll try to let you know as soon as AdwCleaner 7.1 is out.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards.
I just tried to run AdwCleaner in Safe Mode unfortonately run AdwCleaner crashed again and produced the same error msg.
Looking forward to the next version of AdwCleaner. Hopefully this will resolve this issuse.
Thx, user4747
OK, this issue is known and will be fixed in the upcoming 7.1 version.
In the meantime, we can try to use AdwCleaner in Safe Mode. It works sometimes.
Here is how you can boot Windows 7 in Safe Mode : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/
Then, just launch AdwCleaner again and do a scan/clean.
When I tried to do this yeasterday Adw crashed or freezed on me and I ended up with a error msg.
I guess I can reproduce the error msg and take a screen shot.

Hi guys,
I installed the other 'some' tool and while installig this other tool my windows 7 box got infected with
'lavasoft web companion'
obivouly my first weapon of choice was to pick up a new vesion of adwcleaner.
However the currenct version 7.0.4.0 seems of have problems removing the above named spyware.
However I partialy managed to remove some elements of lavasoft web companion....
Hello,
Sorry for the late answer.
Glad to know it's now fixed. May be it was only related to gearbest.com, something like a defacement [1]? I can't find anything online about it tho.
Feel free to come back if you see anything weird again.
Regards.
Thanks! What files from firefox profile should I upload? Logs:

EDIT: I just checked gearbest.com and now the page loads. I don't know what happened, but it's fixed.
Hello,
I can send files from my firefox profile if that helps (I did a full text search on all files in my profile for text string "area51buy.com" but nothing relevant was found)Simplex, 2017-11-09 12:10:12 (UTC)
Yes, please do. I'm sure we'll find a solution.
Also,
Can you give me the list of your installed addons - in Firefox?
Also, please share the AdwCleaner/Malwarebytes logfiles.
