malwarebytes adwcleaner stops 7.2.2 support

Thanks.ĪdwCleaner.txt Edited Jby catscomputerĬonfirmed, I found the same (as well as many of those added by Spybot S&D via its Immunize function/feature which uses the registry restricted sites, the IE ActiveX Killbit implemented by MS as well as the HOSTS file for blocking/restricting access to malicious web content). Computer 2 is identical except it's running Win 10 Home not Pro. Here is the log file from computer number 1. So it would seem that AdwCleaner is detecting stuff from SpywareBlaster's blocklists. To confirm my suspicions I ran 7.2.2.0 on the 2 machines with partially enabled protection and they came up clean, but as soon as I enabled all protection in SpywareBlaster on the 'Restricted Sites' field, and then re-ran AdwCleaner version 7.2.2.0, those same 42 detections appeared again. On the third computer that had not been scanned - SpywareBlaster showed all protection as fully enabled. There were exactly 42 unprotected sites on both those computers - the same number of detections in AdwCleaner. I then checked SpywareBlaster on all three computers, and protection was only partially enabled under the 'Restricted Sites' on the two computers I had scanned with version 7.2.2.0 and allowed the programme to clean. I then checked the registry of a third computer (not yet scanned with AdwCleaner) and all of those same keys were present on that computer too, along with a lot of other seedy looking keys referencing adult material, so I wondered if these were part of some kind of blocklist that was supposed to be there and actually protecting my computers. So I immediately downloaded, installed and ran version 7.2.2.0 on the second machine, and lo and behold - the exact same 42 detections came up on that computer too. Interestingly, I saw the exact same detections in a post on Wilders here: hxxps://I then scanned a second Win 10 laptop with AdwCleaner version 7.2.

Version 7.2.2.0 detected 42 items on one of my laptops last night. Endpoint Detection & Response for Servers
