Hello,

After I installed then uninstalled Ace Stream and its Firefox plugin, I ran a scan on my PC with AdwCleaner and found the following entry to delete :

C:/Users/MyName/AppData/Roaming/.acestream

I asked AdwCleaner to delete it, and it was indeed deleted after rebooting and the report said it was deleted. I ran a second scan and AdwCleaner found nothing to deleted, so I thought the probl...

Hi,

I couldnt find how to attach file here. There are more than 20 log files in that folder. Will add the content of latest 2:

Hello,

This is not a bug. Since v5.111, AdwCleaner has a new option called "Reset Chrome preferences" which effectively reset all chrome preferences. You can deactivate this option by unchecking it under "Options" menu.

This is stupid since most people have chrome customized to their preferences and don't want to do it all over again just because...

Hi,

You are right, we could have invest about what was creating those pop-ups. In fact a search on the registry with the url of the pop-ups could have worked since a great part of the IE configuration is set under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.

We will do that next time !

Some recommendations, as Internet Explorer is not really consider as the safer web browser, I...

I agree, not sure why this is only affecting edge. Internet Explorer and Chrome still work fine. I have a generic admin account on the PC that has the same issue and I am able to send you this via IE. Since I dont use this computer I dont know if this has been an issue prior to the suspicious activity ofr if it is new.

Thanks.

It's strange.. After running AdwCleaner and losing the network connection with Edge, can you do the following :

• Start powershell
• Enter the following command :

  ipconfig /all > "C:\Users\hocky_000\ipconfig.txt"

   

A file "ipconfig.txt" will be created on your personal folder, please copy/paste its content here.

Best regards,

I downloaded and ran AdwCleaner on my wife's computer after some suspicious activity to rule out an infection. All it found was: 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\d23716qn9q7omq.cloudfront.net' 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\dotomi.com'

I had it remove those keys, now when launching Edge it will not load...

Merci fr33tux je fais ça demain matin.

Pour la quarantaine j'avais vérifié le dossier avant de désinstaller AdwCleaner, c'est pourquoi je posais la question. Car je suppose que maintenant il y a possibilité de réintégrer des éléments supprimés par erreur, ou j'ai mal compris ?

Pour Yahoo je me suis souvenue que j'avais Yahoo Messenger il y a très longtemps, du coup j'ai supprimé quelques clés...
