    Just tick all of them then next and they will be deleted if you agree.

    Or go to quarantine then remove from there....
  • Personally I delete everything that Ad-Aware detects (critical or not).

    I've never had any problems with the things it's deleted.

    At the end of the day if you break an application that is built with Malware/Spyware included in it, I'd rather do without the application! Simple as that.

    Go on be brave...delete all the critical items :beer:

    hahahaha

    All good banter guys but havent got a scooby doo where it came from!!!!
  • General browsing...clicking on the wrong link...downloading "new" software...

    Download (and keep updating) the Spywareblaster program as flagged up earlier and you should avoid this rubbish in the future. Spywareblaster stops the Malware from installing in the first place!

    Make sure you've got a personal firewall and all the latest Microsoft updates installed. You're a prime target for the scamsters given you've got a broadband connection.

    Just put it down to one of those things that was inadvertently clicked on
    just make sure you have a Firewall and Antivirus aswell... also make
    sure your incoming email is being scanned.

    Any other users who have Internet access on yer PC may have picked it
    up, maybe a adolecsent in the houshold.

    You must have the same scriptwriter as:
    Men do not like to admit to even momentary imperfection. My husband forgot the code to turn off the alarm. When the police came, he wouldn't admit he'd forgotten the code.....he turned himself in. - Rita Rudner

    and
    There's very little advice in men's magazines, because men don't think there's a lot they don't know... Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, "I know what I'm doing, just show me somebody naked." - Jerry Seinfield

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :cool:
