AdwCleaner

[Samurai Jack]

Hello
I just did a scan with Adw and it found a few things in Reg. The only thing I know about the Reg. is not to play around with it,so I ask if someone knows if I should let it clean these or just don't worry all is good ?

Thanks

Since you are not having problem, I would not touch the registry. If it is not broken do not try to fix it.

adwcleaner sometimes flags registry items that are questionable to it, however, not harmful, but rather good, to you. I do not recognize any of the keys it flagged. Leave 'em be. Perhaps run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware [free version is fine] to see if it flags anything. Can you share with us the reason for running adwcleaner?

In answer to doing things wrong in the registry then do what I do after a clean install and before tweaking of any sort is to back it up see
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/4230-registry-backup-restore.html this can be stored on any media beit the hard dive or a stick

Now for those who use Kaspersky the ADW Cleaner will send it into a rant but that can be dealt with by ignoring it or if the security settings are set to high then disable it until the ADW stuff is done.

Personally I have used it many times and never had any problems.

Hi
Ok thanks for looking at it, I wasn't having problems just had some free time today and wanted to do a scan to see if I've been good. Thanks again

Hi,
You don't say which security you have installed,
If you could post some additional information,
Post the browsers extensions and toolbars... you use :/

I agree adwcleaner usually only finds bad stuff.

Hi,
Open ie,
Use gear symbol on the top right and click on Manage add-ons,
On the bottom left column switch to Show all add-ons,
Top left column click on Toolbars and extensions,
Post a screen shot of them all,
Cheers.

Hi
Use FF no IE so I did this if no good let me know.

 

[ThrashZone]

Thanks,
Well allot of these extensions in Firefox are most likely the keys found by adwcleaner,
Extensions are a great way to pick up crap,
As you can see allot of them effect all browsers use them or not.
Remove or keep the findings it's up to you = wait for an issue to surface,
Which the issues may only effect ie's operation :/
Cheers.

Darn Jack I guess we lost you buddy :/
You must of forgotten to Read the Install options again but I've still never seen anything forcing to purchase to clean from any of the links I posted
Cheers and good luck.

Hi TZ
I don't understand your last post,"forgotten to Read the Install options,
never seen anything forcing to purchase to clean from any of the links I posted "

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi Jack I thought we lost you

I was just saying the links I posted do not ask for or insist on anyone paying to clean a machine,
Although 1199 findings is quite allot of corruption but might not be realistic to post the scan results in a post just upload the text file attachment instead if you ever decide to do that :/

 

[Samurai Jack]

TZ
I think it's to early there for you in Houston, maybe your answering the wrong post ? I have no clue about "1199 findings is quite allot of corruption"
Where did you see that I have a small text file on 1st post I see nothing about 1199 ?
