Re: adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Ran with debug mode, no file created. I think this is due to my computer being part of a Windows domain, and I am a domain, not local, user. I will try using a local account.

adwcleaner 5.105 "database cannot be loaded"

Just like it says, after I updated to 5.105, I can no longer scan. After pressing scan I get an error popup with the message, "AdwCleaner's database cannot be loaded." I have tried re-downloading the .exe, restarting my computer and turning firewall completely off. But I get this error every time.

False Positive for Adwcleaner?

on AdwCleaner by ****

Hello,

I've recently done a scan on my computer with AdwCleaner - out of a couple of false positives, I can't figure this one out. I've tried looking it up, but no dice. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Some functions on my computer no longer working after adwcleaner use

Hello,

Can you post AdwCleaner's cleaning report ?

Also, can you download RegToolExport, run it, then on the text field copy/paste this text :

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

Click on "Exporter" then save the file to your desktop.

Please attach the exported file to your next reply.

Regards,

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.

This is because of this program is considered as portable one and it make no records in the registry. It also creates no any links and runs from its executable file (from which it's installs)....
