Re: XP sp3 AdwCleaner 5.108

Hi Xplode. Sorry, not working. I tried as above (deleting and replacing libeay32dll) with both v5.109 and the debug version that you posted too.

Both give "Procedure entry point EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32dll" error. Followed by "SQLite3dll cannot be loaded" error.

I think it'll be helpful if you could do a snapshot of the registry before AdwCleaner's cleaning and after. You can use a software like RegShot ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/ ).

Re: Internet issues after running adwcleaner Winsock2 being deleted

Hello Xplode,

Thanks for your time looking into this matter.  I apologize I was away and not able to assist shortly after reporting this issue.  I had noticed that you had released a couple of newer versions while I was away, so I downloaded and ran the newest one 5.109, but the issue persisted.  Please note that I am not deleting any files or folders that your program detects (as there are so...
