In hopes of making my two computers as safe as can be I went ahead and removed the various files that AdwCleaner detected in a scan. However, because I had issues with my computer's hardrive becoming corrupt recently, I'm worried that some of the registry files that were deleted might in fact be necessary ones. Can someone please let me know if this is the case? I've posted the content of the l...

Browsing old threads and safe to say, that Locky won't be decryptable for quite some time. Considering that new versions of it are coming out, making it even more complicated to do anything. You can read more on Malwarebytes and The Hacker News. Even Kaspersky's attempts at that have failed. Hopefully, we can have the master key somehow, or a lucky break in decryption. Other than that, you can ...

Is anyone from the AdwCleaner team able to comment about this yet?

It would be nice wouldn't it? I am solving this myself, by uninstalling AdwCleaner and not recommending it to those requesting help on a forum where I am a mod. Too bad, very good tool, one of the best for removing PUP's but not going to sacrifice SpywareBlaster's ability to block them so ...

Hi there, 

I just have some questions about your program. 

1: Does AdsFix have a pause button? During the analyzing sequence it took over 4 hours to scan (and that was at 57%), I didn't expect it to go for so long. 

2: When I pressed escape on the keyboard; when it was analyzing, the computer froze up and windows was seizing. Followed by a frozen screen and I had to hard reset the computer. ...

ActiveX is used for Microsoft services. I am fairly certain that this is a false positive. There have been a number of threads about the ActiveX issue, still waiting for confirmation from representatives.

Can you post the full logs? Also, try downloading the newest beta version of Adwcleaner and see if that helps you out? In addition to that, try doing the scans in Windows "Safe mode with networking" as well as add Hitman Pro to your program list. That way you can be certain that the threats are removed. In theory, it should work.

Thanks Bernard. Good point on adding to firewall if happens again. Was thinking same thing -- that it's not a real hijack or spyware. Glad to hear it from somebody with more IT proficiency. It only happens on one specific station on tunein, and I listen to a bunch so seems site specific. 

Hi,

Don't panic, this is a classic "aggressive (scam) advertising" and a (real) false 'Zeus' alert! None zeus virus is present on your computer!
