Re: PUP \SysNative\drivers\mrxsmb22.sys

SysNative, means System32.

I found it here:

C>Windows>System32>drivers

Name                     Size

mrxsmb.22.sys       57 KB

And

C\AdwCleaner\Quarantine\

I then tracked it thru Manic Time to the exact time in seconds and found what happened at that time as confirmed adw, installer wnd.

What this was is a fake Cedrick Collomb Portable. Unlocker is only an Install.

Would not delete man...

Re: Signing 7.0.5.0

Of course already signed. At the time the message was created, everyone downloaded a version without a signature, and later the file was updated.

Re: lavasoft web companion

OK, this issue is known and will be fixed in the upcoming 7.1 version.

In the meantime, we can try to use AdwCleaner in Safe Mode. It works sometimes.

Here is how you can boot Windows 7 in Safe Mode : https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/

Then, just launch AdwCleaner again and do a scan/clean.

I can't download the tool with EagleGet downloader

Hi,

When i try to download the tool with EagleGet, i always get an invalid file with wrong hashes, and i get "this app can't run on your pc" or "side-by-side configuration is wrong".

But whenever i download it directly with the browser, i get correct file with right hashes and it works fine.

Also when i downloaded it from here with EagleGet, it has been downloaded correctly without problems.  

Re: AdwCleaner 7.0.4.0 not a valid application

I am using Firefox 56.0.2, with DownThemAll download manager addon. I get the same results as Psajko above.

Yes, it makes a difference if I download it in another browser, or in Firefox without using DTA. Now I've got the right file. (There must be a bug in DTA.) Thank you.

Re: Major difficulties with AdwCleaner v. 7.0.3.1

No response in TWO days!

It sure would be nice if this could finally be fixed. It appears these problems with AdwCleaner and PUP.Optional.Legacy and PUP.Optional.AdvancedSystemCare  listings have been going on since the release of v. 7 months ago. The reply always seems to be . "Thanks for the details. We'll look into it". or "it will be fixed with the next update"

I for one have been helping...

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....

Re: False positives?

More than two weeks later, still same results as above. This is the longest I've ever gone without a clean scan result, and it worries me.

General Question about AdsFix

Hi there, 

I just have some questions about your program. 

1: Does AdsFix have a pause button? During the analyzing sequence it took over 4 hours to scan (and that was at 57%), I didn't expect it to go for so long. 

2: When I pressed escape on the keyboard; when it was analyzing, the computer froze up and windows was seizing. Followed by a frozen screen and I had to hard reset the computer. ...
