Once the updating process has finished, you will be asked to reset your box.
After you have clicked on the “Radar Symbol”, this is the window that you will see.
To get the best results for removing malware, it is highly recommended to choose “Full Scan”.
tap the “Scan Now” button at the bottom to begin.
Once Scanning is Complete
Depending on the size of your system (i.e.
the amount of files, etc.
), the scan time will vary.
Once the malware scan has finished, the results will be displayed as shown below and broken into categories.
Here is a look at the options available on the drop down menus.
The default setting is “Recommended” but may not be the action that best suits your needs.
As you could see, we chose “Remove all” for each category in our example.
We knew for certain that each item category listed was a definite problem.
Notice that there is also an option to “Set System Restore Point”.
it’s advisable to grab the option.
go for the “Perform Actions Now” button at the bottom when you have finished choosing your parameters.
This is nothing to worry about…just Ad-Aware creating the System Restore Point.
We chose to “Submit” the file for evaluation by Lavasoft.
Submitting suspicious files is recommended and helps improve future scan results.
Notice that you may be prompted to “Reboot your gear”.
Conclusion
Like any anti-malware software, Ad-Aware may not remove everything by itself.
