Major difficulties with AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1

I am helping a friend clean a grossly infected computer. Windows 10. Uses McAfee AV.

He ran Malwarebytes 3 without difficulty and it cleaned with no problem at all. I do have the log if needed but cannot find a way to attach the text file

He then attempted to use AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1 but it would not complete cleaning and received a box with notification that a problem had stopped the clean....

Greetings,

Sorry for the late answer.

Try to uncheck every registry element detected before pushing the Clean button. Then, it should work as expected.

This issue is known and will be resolved with the release of the 7.1 version.

Regards.

I cannot help you, I'm sorry. I wish I could, then we'd BOTH know what we're doing when we get results. I don't understand computers well enough to understand 9/10ths of what they even DO anymore. I know this much: everything is slow, and has been since Windows 10 was forced upon us all. I don't even understand WHAT this program actually does except "clean" things that are "bad" ... lol ... goo...

Ports, applications, accessibility. Maybe your other device is used a lot less, you haven't messed with any ports or have any applications that require forwarding. Honestly, very weird issue, I would need to investigate the files. Can you scan your PC With Farbar MiniToolBox and Malwarebytes JRT? Post the logs that you get.
