    hi
    i use AdwCleaner for years, last version 8.4.2 works fine.
    i downloaded AdwCleaner 8.5.0 and got .dll problem (as in the photo) and the app. could not load at all.
    -tested on 2 win 7 machine same error.
    -looked in the web and saw the error related to visual C++ , so i updated all (2013, 2019, 2015-2022) -didnt help.
    -sfc/scannow - error not found.
    -tried contacting MBAM support -still on hold...

    We are not the only ones...
    There are other users with similar complaints on their forum.
    I don't understand how a security company that is considered good, releases a new version
    without testing it first on win 7

    Officially from Malwarebytes Support:
    It has been determined that due to the requirements needed to keep up with updates to the latest versions of Windows, starting with AdwCleaner version 8.5, Windows 7 is no longer supported.
    You can continue to use version 8.4, at this time it will continue to receive detection updates.
