AdwCleaner option default settings & subsequent result cleaning

Keep getting autoit error

on AdwCleaner by ****

I keep getting an error that pops up near the end when I'm scanning. I've tried running it as an admin but the same thing keeps happening. I ran a debug report after reading some some other threads however I'm at a loss on what the problem could be.  The error says it's line 14856

After upgrade august problems with Logmein

Hello,

 

I am using adwcleaner for years now and I am very happy with it. I use it to clean computers on remote using logmeIn Rescue. But after the update in August I can;t connect anymore after a reboot of the computer. By testing it on another computer I saw that after the first reboot logmein won't start up but after a second reboot it comes back and I have full control again. So it seems ...

Re: AdwCleaner has stopped me from booting into safe mode

Ahh yes, my mistake. Here are the two logfiles from a scan I just ran in Debug mode.

Thank you.

I see the datbase date is in-fact 2016-09-03.2

I will perform some testing on multiple computers in multiple locations and get back with you.

Thank you

Re: AdwCleaner can't remove Program Files (x86)\MPC Cleaner

Hello,

Oh. It would have been interesting to get all the references to BrowserAir, so that I would have added them to AdwCleaner.

But thanks for the feedback :)

Re: AdwCleaner 6.0.1 Registry Threats?

By the way, I've run Malwarebytes several times (including treating PUP and PUMs as malware) and have come up completely clean. Only AdwCleaner is listing these five items as "threats."

Re: AdwCleaner 6.0 won't delete detected threats.

Hi, it is fixed - I scanned again and "0" threats detected.  I'm posting the logfile anyway in case it may be of use to you.  Thanks

P.S. Here's a simple copy/paste of the header. I tried to paste screen shots but I got "Reply invalid, must be between 3 and 50,000 letters."  How do I paste .jpg/.png, for future reference?
