adwcleaner stops working

[Rick605]

When I click on scan on adwcleaner a box pops up that says it's stopped working.

 

This has been going on for some time now and with the newer versions.

 

Does anyone know why?

Hello,

It would be very helpful if you could send us the debug file. You can enable the debug mode from settings -> Mode. This will create "AdwCleaner_Debug.txt"  file in C:\AdwCleaner\Logs.

Please, enable the debug mode, try to scan again and, if it fails, send us the debug file. You can share it here or PM me.

Thank you!

[Rick605]

Is this it?

Hello,

It is, thanks. Can you give us more details about your setup? (like your Windows version and so on...)

[Rick605]

I have windows 8.1. What else do you need?

 

 

[exile360]

The following logs would likely prove useful as they provide a good picture of what's on the system as well as the condition of many core OS components as well as third party security components and can also help determine if there is an infection present which might be causing the issue:

1. Download and run the Malwarebytes Support Tool
2. Accept the EULA and click Advanced Options on the main page (not Get Started)
3. Click the Gather Logs button, and once it completes, attach the zip file it creates on your desktop to your next reply
   

[Rick605]

Thank You for your help.

[Rick605]

I downloaded the newest version, ran it three time and it's fine now. Worked all three times.

[exile360]

Excellent, I'm glad to hear it.  I guess it was a bug with the previous build that was behind the issue you were having.  Anyway, I'm glad that it's resolved with the new build and if we can help with anything else please don't hesitate to let us know.

Thanks

[Rick605]

It's back to doing the same thing again...not working.

[exile360]

OK, go ahead and post a fresh debug log and a new set of diagnostic logs using the Support Tool I linked to in my previous post so that we can take a look at what's going on.

Also, can you try running it in Safe Mode with Networking to see if it works there?

Please let us know how it goes and post back with the requested info and logs.

Thanks

[Rick605]

I'll try it from Safe mode now

mbst-grab-results.zip

[Rick605]

It does not work in safe mode either.

[exile360]

OK, thanks, please try running the special build of Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit found in this topic according to the instructions found there and have it remove any threats if it finds them and reboot if prompted to do so to complete the threat removal process.  If it doesn't work in normal mode, then please try running it from Safe Mode with Networking.  Also, if you haven't already, please try downloading and running Malwarebytes 3 from here.

Please let us know how it goes, and if any threats are found by either scan, please attach the scan logs or copy/paste them into your reply.

@fr33tux, @Elisabeth can you guys also take a look and assist in case it's a bug or unknown compatibility issue?

Thanks

[Rick605]

The Anti-Rootkit found nothing. For some reason Avast free antivirus popped up on my desktop after installing the anti-rootkit.
