HKLM\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\Image File Execution Options\egui.exe

Some functions on my computer no longer working after adwcleaner use

on AdwCleaner by ****

Hi, I have used Adwcleaner to get rid of some ads on my computer. After the restart, my computer couldn't connect to Wi-Fi, open control panel and numerous other things. I'm not sure if it has deleted some critical system files or something.

If anyone could help that would be great!

Re: does not stay on computer

I downloaded and installed AdwCleaner but when I exit the program there is nothing left.  I have no icons to re-open and it does not appear in my Un-install list.

Hello,

If I can retrieve anything I'll post it up. There was nothing in my adwCleaner folders except a reference to 'Xplode', not sure if that was something to do with anything.

Re: Emobilize experience

Thank you for your thoughts. 

I don't know what software it was.

I think I had just come off the SiteGrounds site but can't be sure. I've been in touch with their security today and they are convinced it was nothing to do with them.
