Ad Aware question

**Adder** · 04-25-2005, 10:56 AM

After doing scans and deleting spyware cookies, Ad Aware puts the scan log in a quarantine. Is there any reason a person should keep this in quarantine? (I always delete it.)

Just for records etc. if it already knows about the crap it finds again it usually deletes it it'self. Clearing the list just means you delete it manually, no biggie whether you delete it or not.

I used Ad-aware a couple of times, but had problems with it. Whenever I used it, it would wipe out my connection to the internet. Did that happen to anyone else? Then, when I put all the deleted stuff back in, I'd get the internet back.

if your computer still works fine, and your programs are also fine after a scan/removal of spaware, then there isnt any reason to keep that log file. However, if program X stops working because of the removal...you're gonna want to keep to that log file to restore your system.
