Re: vers 7.0

@ fr33tux

I tried AdwCleaner on 2 different PCs, first one is mine running on Windows 10 x64 and the second that of a friend with Windows 7 32bits. On my PC, many previous versions of AdwCleaner had already been launched. On my friend's PC, it was the first use I believe (but it's not sure).

On my friend PC to disinfect, MiPony was installed and obviously AdwCleaner try to remove all traces o...

Re: AdwCleaner stops working!

Can you try with this one: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/files/1040/ ?

I did, but it failed also. I had to use the task manager to get it to stop "running" even after it "froze". I caqn't afford to have my computer break down....so I do not want to try it again. All I have that's worthwhile in this life is my computer and my dog!...

Re: AdwCleaner stops working!

Does not work!  It stops / freezes with the same pop up window saying "caught". I tried the older version immediately after and it worked fine. Then went back and tried the newest version again....but it failed agan.

Re: Many Bugs 7.0.1.0

Re: Can I remove these folders/keys safely with adware cleaner?

PUP is a potentially unwanted program. Basically, something that comes with bundleware or through other sources. As fr33tux mentioned, you should just remove them and not worry about it much. In general, if you see something with WARE in scans, it is some form of malware.

Re: Version 7 FPs (262 elements)

Hello,

As you can see in the logfile, the database is not up-to-date:

# Database: 07-16-2017.1

So it means that AdwCleaner was not able to retrieve the latest database version online. That's why fr33tux is asking about the proxy.

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Could be that you are a victim of bundleware. Basically, alongside normal maybe even useful software, some providers bundle malicious or useless software just to increase downloads and such. Have you downloading anything from 3rd party providers and not official sources?. Regardless of the fact, Malwarebytes or ADWCleaner should have picked it up and removed it, it could be much more thorough. ...
