7 New Objects (flashing red bug)

0 Processes identified
1 Registry keys identified
1 Registry value identified
5 Files identified
0 Folders identified

==>Next

Scanning results (list of "objects")
Note:  ALL objects should be "checked" as selected.
If not, use right mouse button (pointed at list) to get the following
options menu:

Item details
Select all objects
Deselect all objects
Inverse selection
...

If you are interested in details about a particular (bad) object in the list,
then click on the item and from the right-mouse menu, select item details.

But be sure to "Select all objects" from the right-mouse menu.


Then, move on to remove those objects:

==>Next

7 objects will be removed.  Continue?

==>OK		(this will cause the "objects" to be first 
		"quarantened", and then deleted).

==>Exit  (close window)


Note:  it is possible that not all objects can be removed on the spot,
since some might be in use.  If so, adaware will ask if it's ok to
remove those objects when the system restarts.  If so, reboot, and it
will proceed to remove the rest when it start back up.
