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...

Re: redémarrage impossible après passage de tweaning

Bonjour,

Avez-vous la possibilité d'utiliser un autre clavier ? Vous pouvez aussi tenter d'utiliser le clavier d'accessibilité de Windows. Vous pouvez vous rendre sur cette page pour savoir comment y accéder.

Ensuite, tentez la restauration d'un point de restauration système. La marche à suivre est décrite sur cette page, dans la section "Restaurer à partir d’un point de restauration système"...

Re: Did AdwCleaner Remove Required Registry Files?

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.

Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 in 32 & 64 bits.

This is written at download page. So XP is not supported.

Did AdwCleaner Remove Required Registry Files?

In hopes of making my two computers as safe as can be I went ahead and removed the various files that AdwCleaner detected in a scan. However, because I had issues with my computer's hardrive becoming corrupt recently, I'm worried that some of the registry files that were deleted might in fact be necessary ones. Can someone please let me know if this is the case? I've posted the content of the l...

Re: version 5.016 ..... FP with Spyware blaster active x registry entries

ActiveX is used for Microsoft services. I am fairly certain that this is a false positive. There have been a number of threads about the ActiveX issue, still waiting for confirmation from representatives.
