Re: adwcleaner_7.0.0.0

I have downloaded the new version when I started it I had a window pop up to say that it was out of date. I clicked on the link and it downloaded the same version that I had before and I get the same problem Windows close the when it started to clean. Before with the older version I had no problem.

adwcleaner_7.0.0.0

I have just recently downloaded the new version, before it worked very well now when I run the software and then I want to clean my computer, windows tells me that it will close the program as it has stopped running. I have done this several times and I still get the same problem.
