Might as well post the log for the newest stable version.

This could be a worm (Network virus). And you might need to reflash your routers software. Check your network settings or network device and see if there are static IP's in place. Could you try disconnecting from the network, cleaning up your PC with Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner, restart PC and see if the issue persists? If it doesn't, try connecting to a different network and see if it happens...

I guess this issue is related to this: https://toolslib.net/forum/viewthread/13243-adwcleaner-7021-wont-run-windows-10-64-bit/?p=1#!messageId-13246

Version 7.0.2.1 now running OK! 

Changes made as it would not run a few days ago?

Cheers

Good to know it works! I'm closing this thread then.

Greetings,

Can you please try with the following version: https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1-adwcleaner/

Tell me if it works.

Regards.

Josh ;) Considering my uninstall folder is empty and none of the mentioned file registries are crucial, I don't see any problems that might come from removing those. It could be a malicious registry added to alter your search or download malware, but other than that, you should be good to go. (I am not an expert at registries, just slightly knowledgeable)

Thanks John! That is reassuring. Do you think you could check about the files for another computer of mine? I just want to be sure that the registry will be okay.

It looks like your PC's DHCP IP's have been altered maliciously not too long ago. Which it would make sense why one PC detects it, and another doesn't. Default addresses can be hijacked and used for malicious intents. It is hard to say whether it is a false positive or not. You could always reset your PCs IP's and router to see if that solves the problem.
