Re: My AdwCleaner has a problem

Have you had any other success determining the issue? Have you tried first scanning with Malwarebytes and then AdwCleaner afterward? What OS are you running and which version? Because that might cause an issue with compatibility (Very rare case). Try launching the application in the admin mode? This guide also has more info about compatibility, IF it is the issue. Speculating at this point. Let...

Faux positifs ?

Voilà ce que j'ai trouvé dans la rubrique "Firefox" :

AdwCleaner stops working!

I tried running ADW Cleaner but it stops / freezes and I have to use the task manager to close it down.

Want to attach image of pop up window but do not know how to attach to this post.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the reason could be?

I am running Windows 7 Pro. 64bit

Re: False positives?

I have a doubt, if I run the program while being connected to the internet, it does not give me any detections, but if I run it without an internet connection, it recalls 260 detections, the same ones that the author of the post points out.

Re: Download and 3rd party providers

Hello,

Yes, as a remind the only valid link for AdwCleaner is the one on https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ which is this page: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

Any other page is not considered as legit.

Regarding the issue, it's not related to any installation process (AdwCleaner doesn't install anything), and it's fixed in the v7.0.1.0 betas that you can find...

Re: Adwcleaner 7.0.0.0

Bonjour,

Même chose chez moi. Depuis 15 jours.

Windows 7 pro 64 bits.

adware cleaner 7.0.0.0 crashes on use

adware cleaner 7.0.0.0 crashes on use, when it comes to the end of the process. 

And, my old 6.x won't run - insists on upgrading to 7 which doesn't work. 

So, figured I would try 7.0.1.0 beta, but that also insists it is out of date, and tries to get me to go back to 7.0.0.0

Re: adwcleaner_7.0.0.0

I managed to get it to work, you need to download the link above and then let it scan. If you have a pop-up window to say this version is out of date ignore rate can full the window. After you need to press on scan normally it will work fine.
