Greetings.

I realized that every time I run adwcleaner in my system with windows 7 of 64 bits, 2 errors registered in the event viewer appear.

Hello Hijin25,

Is AdwCleaner completing when you do run it?

[Hijin25]

Greetings, thanks for your attention.

Yes, the analysis runs completely and the tool seems to work without problems, the only intriguing are these errors that are recorded in the event viewer.

I really have no idea what all that means or why - I'm not seeing that happen on my Win 7 machine. Which version of AdwCleaner do you have installed?

[Hijin25]

The last, the 7.0.4.0

I do not know if it is due to my antivirus, I have eset smart security 10, although I always deactivate it when I run the analysis with adwcleaner. Although with my PC with windows 10, I also have that antivirus and it does not throw that error.

Hello,

@Hijin25 It's related to the cryptographic network component. I see a few causes possible, including:

- a security software is playing nasty and causing AdwCleaner to throw this (recoverable) error,

- An exception occurred during one of the network operations due to a missing component something else harmless

In both cases, it's not really critical.

Best regards,
