Re: More false positives

You know that, i know that, but a schoolstudent does not. As a servicedeskmanager i have been promoting adwcleaner for years on our schools but now it's causing confusion among collegues and other cliënts when adwcleaner is stating that there might be a problem or maybe something is a PUP while there isnt anything wrong.

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.

If you have issues, kill the process with the task manager and then remove it. 

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: My AdwCleaner has a problem

Hi,

Same problem and same message : "*** Caught unhandled unknown exception, terminating."

Activating Debug from Tools menu does not solve anything.

I cannot even close the message of error, the close button is grey, so I have to close adwcleaner via Task Manager.
