In v5.104 I added the list of Winsock2 entries deleted at the bottom of the logfile, so that I can check if there is a legit entry that has been deleted and correct it.

You're right, AdwCleaner does minor things behind what is written...

Hello,

I've recently done a scan on my computer with AdwCleaner - out of a couple of false positives, I can't figure this one out. I've tried looking it up, but no dice. Any advice is appreciated.

Is egui.exe in the registry a false positive?

I downloaded the new ADWCleaner 5.103 this morning, and ran it.  It found one registry key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\Image File Execution Options\egui.exe

I went to the key in the Registry, and the key has no value.

Re: Some functions on my computer no longer working after adwcleaner use

Hello,

Can you post AdwCleaner's cleaning report ?

Also, can you download RegToolExport, run it, then on the text field copy/paste this text :

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

Click on "Exporter" then save the file to your desktop.

Please attach the exported file to your next reply.

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!
