Re: Did AdwCleaner Remove Required Registry Files?

Thanks John! That is reassuring. Do you think you could check about the files for another computer of mine? I just want to be sure that the registry will be okay.

Re: adwcleaner 7.0.2.1 won't run on windows 10 64-bit?

I got that too, I noticed i always got wrong Chcksums from the author's site.

I tried with different browser to no avail, then tried and made it from Filehippo with right checksum.

Now running it, it told me it's an old version and I should download the newer one, though everything seems right as above and in "about" info

Re: My First Post: Are These Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility Entries False Positives

A quick bump up the post to get admins/mods here to confirm and double check my concerns.  Also, the other thread hasn't been confirmed by admins/mods as well. We will see how it turns out, could be just another bug with Adwcleaner.

Adware 7.0.2.0 Beta 3 Still crashing Win 7

After download & install, I checked debug. Upon launch, a message said this was outdated version, and asked if I wanted a newer version. I said OK. Still crashed.

Thank I returned and downloaded the "updated" version, which was the same, but this time said no to a newer version. It will not go beyond heuristics analysis. Here's the error message.

Re: More false positives

Yesterday the Windows 10 machine from my wife was scanned by 7.0.1.0 and referred Zylom games and TryMedia as suspicious. Removal of it all led to no gaming anymore because these files (and dirs) are apearently necessary to run and check validation of the Zylom Games. Such a shame because a noob does not understand that.

Re: More false positives

These are still detected, they're actually related to a music application too called MASCHINE by Native Instruments and pose no threat,

where as the registry detections are immunization entries created by either Spybot S&D or SpywareBlaster. Checked this several times over.

Would it be better to use the beta for now then ?

Re: Start\Windows icon

Have you noticed anything else weird/out of the ordinary on your PC? Can you try booting into Windows "Safe mode with networking" and see if you can do any of the actions through that. Otherwise, I would recommend doing a thorough malware check just in case.

Full and thorough malware check:

1. Restart your PC in “Safe mode with networking.” 2. Install and run RKill to kill malicious processes...

Re: Adware and i don't know what to do

Glad the issues have been sorted out. For future reference, I recommend installing some form of Adblock, as not only that prevents malicious ad pop-ups but also some malicious websites as well. Additionally, you can check any link before clicking it using Virus Total or Scanurl. Good luck!

Re: AdwCleaner stops working!

Hi, I had the same problem, it would do a scan and then when I would clean it would stop right away and say Caught and some other things can't think of offhand but it would not let me x it out and would have to minimize it and then right click to close window.  That was from the time it went from 7.0.0 to the 7.0.1.  I know it changes after a few weeks or so so I have been checking every few da...
