Do you mean that the list of objects found extends below the screen

any item and "Select All" or any number of other options. You *are*
talking about Ad-Aware SE? From Lavasoft?


Yes, it's lavasoft... but it's the list of objects that can't be
removed and adaware wants to do it on the next boot... there is no
right click option.

If you are getting these kinds of scans, with so many items to clean
out, on a repeated basis, then the system isn't being properly protected
in the first place.


I KNOW, I know, I know.... I was under orders NOT to put anything on
that computer when my daughter dragged it out for us to use as a
secondary computer back in March.

With things like Spyware Blaster, George Geyde's
HOSTS File Manager, proper cookie settings, proper email handling, etc.,
you shouldn't be having to clean out anything like the serious
infestation you describe.


It's a real mess. I would have imediately put the Host's file manager
on it and added AdAware if I wasn't under orders.

As long as we're on the subject, I've even had problems installing the
Host's file manager. Usually all I need to do is "extract", but it's
not working for me today. I'd just reformat the hard drive, except I
know she doesn't know where the software is.

I'm going to get Spyware Blaster now...

thanks
