May or may not be a Clean_DNS  problem but since the day of installing Clean_DNS the Windows\Start icon in bottom left of Win 10 screen is a mess, ie left clicking on it shows all options but lets you go/click no further on any of them. If I right click the Start icon though most of those options work, but Search won't work. Anyone any idea how to correct this scenario? Again, I say it may not ...

It all depends on the rig. HDD's are not known to be the fastest at boot times, especially if the system is Windows XP, quite a legacy system right now. Not really sure. If you PC specs are good, then you shouldn't have such long boot times, unless your HDD's are really slow. Did you notice anything else during the boot? Is your WinXP iso image clean? If you got it from a third party, I wouldn'...

Since PUP is a potentially unwanted software, it might not be an infection, just some rogue application running or installed on your PC. Do a thorough scan with Malwarebytes and see if it helps to deal with the issue. Also, you can try searching for the folder manually, as the path is listed and remove it that way. If you have issues, kill the process with the task manager and then remove it. 

Glad the issues have been sorted out. For future reference, I recommend installing some form of Adblock, as not only that prevents malicious ad pop-ups but also some malicious websites as well. Additionally, you can check any link before clicking it using Virus Total or Scanurl. Good luck!

Hi, I had the same problem, it would do a scan and then when I would clean it would stop right away and say Caught and some other things can't think of offhand but it would not let me x it out and would have to minimize it and then right click to close window.  That was from the time it went from 7.0.0 to the 7.0.1.  I know it changes after a few weeks or so so I have been checking every few da...

Here's the log... I still get that one PUP.Optional.Legacy result, dammit.

So it's really an infection after all?

Hi Again  Made an effort in running Debug - and getting the Log - after latest HangUp of program - in the Heuristic Scanning : -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, never experienced problems with ADWcleaner, what happend since you are Malwarebytes? New CEO? The beta version tells me: PUP.Optional.DriverBooster But i have bought this registered program and installed for years and is not a PUP. Maybe  for someone but nut for me. iTunes for me is a PUP but i need it for my bloody iPad.  

After the logs, do you have any other anti-virus or active anti-malware software that could be interfering?Have you tried restarting PC, running RKill to kill potentially malicious software and scan with AdwCleaner? What about Windows safe mode? does that work?

I tried all versions before using this beta version and all failed. The tool stops at the heuristic analysis. I get a pop up windows: AdwCleaner stopped working and windows will try to find a solution. I cannot get any error file, my only option is to stop the the program and that's it.

I use Windows 10 family, 64 bits.

Thanks if this can be fixed soon.
