Title: Problems with AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0? [RETRACTED]
Post by: Chim on July 18, 2017, 03:59:48 AM
Anyone else having problems with AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0?

On my end, it won't even open.  I just get a message informing me that AdwCleaner 7.0.0.0 is not a valid Win32 app.

As far as I understand, this is the 1st version that handles both 32-bit and 64-bit.  So, maybe their first foray into that arena didn't go too well.

No problems here (Windows x86), but too many FPs.
Previous version (6.047) finds nothing while version 7 finds 262 elements, mostly IE registry keys and one Firefox add-on.

Question retracted since it's apparently in the wrong place.
So, we'll just close the thread.
