Default need help with Ad Aware


Cutting a loooong story short... how do I handle deleting something
with 31 components? The list goes off the page, so I can't toggle
yes/no. This is driving me crazy. I've deleted over 1000 objects so
far, but can't get rid of these and they are causing popups like
crazy.

TIA
I have hyjack this installed on that computer, but it lists the good
with the bad... so I'm not going there.

TIA

You've lost me.....If Ad-Aware is finding 31 items, just right-click an item and
click Select All (or whatever the exact wording is in Ad-Aware), then click Next to
quarantine or delete. If this is not your issue, please be more clear.

If the problems won't go away, and you have Hijack This (the latest version, please)
from:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
Unzip to a folder _other_than_ your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick
HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My Documents, or
similar).
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.

Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at ONE of these forums:

(This is where experts you know, like Robear and Mow, hang out)

In your post, please state your problem clearly and what you've done so far to fix
it.

The folks there will tell you what to remove.

Do you mean that the list of objects found extends below the screen
that's available? There's no scroll bar that appears to the right if the
list extends below the window? Mine does that. I can also right-click
any item and "Select All" or any number of other options. You *are*
talking about Ad-Aware SE? From Lavasoft?

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. 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.

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.

out, on a repeated basis, then the system isn't being properly protected

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.

HOSTS File Manager, proper cookie settings, proper email handling, etc.,

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

This is a 20 GIG HD that must be completely fragmented because DD
doesn't have many programs installed, yet it's almost completely full.
I tried defragmenting, but there are serious errors on the HD that.
What do you think of WinFixer 2005? I'd love to reformat the HD, but
I'm sure she doesn't have a clue where the software is.

Unfortunately, I can't repeat that possibility here. I do recall having
to do that recently, but the list wasn't that long I don't think. There
isn't a scroll bar? If you can highlight an item on the list, does the
Down-arrow change the highlight to the next item? If so, that should get
you to the end of the list. Spacebar should also work to
Select/Deselect the item.

I presume that if you say Yes to those you can see, then reboot, the
system becomes reinfested?

Robear or Mow or the other regulars will help you, *and* I will drop in to read your

I wouldn't spend my money on it. What serious errors are you referring to, when you
tried to defrag? I would not defrag till after I was sure all the malware was off.
*After* the malware is gone, run Scandisk but do NOT let it automatically fix
errors. If errors come up, cancel and post back with what they are.
