Some functions on my computer no longer working after adwcleaner use

on AdwCleaner by ****

Hi, I have used Adwcleaner to get rid of some ads on my computer. After the restart, my computer couldn't connect to Wi-Fi, open control panel and numerous other things. I'm not sure if it has deleted some critical system files or something.

If anyone could help that would be great!

The "Disinfected" string is used only when referring to shortcuts, right? Then please change it to "został wyleczony".

The current translation is "wyleczono", it sounds a bit weird because we usually say "Wyleczono skrót", not "Skrót wyleczono", but there seems to be no way to reverse the word order. So, when it's possible, I'm trying to use another form of the verb, like "wyleczono" - "został...

Re: Emobilize experience

Thank you for your thoughts. 

I don't know what software it was.

I think I had just come off the SiteGrounds site but can't be sure. I've been in touch with their security today and they are convinced it was nothing to do with them.

Now that the shock is over, it could have been completely un-related to any other event that day, but it was shockingly easy for them to blag me into handing my ...

Re: Emobilize experience

Was it http://www.weebly.com ?

Re: Unable to remove some adware

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

We'll try to use MBAM hoping it will remove all elements I found in the logfile. Otherwise, we'll remove them "manually" :
