    *Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
    *Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

    Under Definitions:
    *Prompt to udate outdated definitions - set the number of days


    Click on the ‘Scanning’ button on the left and select in green :

    Under Driver, Folders & Files:
    *Scan Within Archives

    Under Select drives & folders to scan -
    *choose all hard drives

    Under Memory & Registry: all green
    *Scan Active Processes
    *Scan Registry
    *Deep Scan Registry
    *Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
    *Scan my Hosts file


    Click on the ‘Advanced’ button on the left and select in green:

    Under Shell Integration:
    *Move deleted files to recycle bin

    Under Logfile Detail Level: (all green)
    *include addtional object information
    *DESELECT - include negligible objects information
    *include environment information

    Under Alternate Data Streams:
    *Don't log streams smaller than 0 bytes
    *Don't log ADS with the following names: CA_INOCULATEIT


    Click the ‘Tweak’ button and select in green:

    Under the ‘Scanning Engine’:
    *Unload recognized processes during scanning
    *Scan registry for all users instead of current user only


    Under the ‘Cleaning Engine’:

    Under the Log Files:
    *Include basic Ad-aware SE settings in logfile

    Click on ‘Proceed’ to save the settings.

    Click ‘Start’

    *Choose:'Perform Full System Scan'
    *DESELECT "Search for negligible risk entries", as negligible risk entries (MRU's) are not considered to be a threat.

    Click ‘Next’ and Ad-Aware SE will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected and clean automatically.

    If Ad-Aware SE finds bad entries, you will receive a list of what it found in the window

    Save the log file when it asks and then click ‘finish’

    REBOOT to complete the removal of what Ad-Aware SE found
