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.

Re: Internet issues after running adwcleaner Winsock2 being deleted

I did not uncheck the "Reset Winsock Settings", and originally discovered this issue only happens when this is checked.  I did a comparison of registry files before and after and saw that the major difference in the two was the deletion of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2 registry folders and sub folders - literally everything in that was deleted.

Re: XP sp3 AdwCleaner 5.108

Hello,

Can you try launching AdwCleaner, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp\ , delete libeay32.dll then copy C:\WINDOWS\system32\libeay32.dll to this folder

After that, click on "Scan" button and tell me if this is working

Hello,

Did you uncheck "Reset Winsock Settings" before doing the "clean" mode ? If AdwCleaner had deleted Winsock entries, they should be listed on the logfile and this is not the case here.

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...

Re: sqlite3.dll

Hello,

Can you launch AdwCleaner, click on "Uninstall". Then, manually delete "C:\Users\Hennie\AppData\Local\Temp\sqlite3.dll"

Then, re-try with the v5.109 : https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

It should be better.

Re: False Positives UpdateStar

Hello,

Unfortunately, UpdateStar Driver is tendancious. A recent analysis of the setup still shows that it bundles PUP. (for example : http://www.herdprotect.com/drivers.exe-9655a4ccf88f7cd59f6e4830087e40658c3604c6.aspx )
