hello. i run my lavasoft adaware daily and each and every time it recognizes 20 to 30 objects. why? is there something i can do to keep out the trackers? thanks. sugar.
Adaware is freeware and freeware always has its downsides. It will tell you this but it may not be true. It has either placed it on your system through its own application or it is invalid and wants you to think its doing an amazing job finding all those and buy a product from them. Try finding a different antivirus, there's not too many out there that you can trust that are free.
after the scan is finished click next click critical items box, that will show what it detetced my guess is its only cookies which i wouldnt worry about.
if its finding spyware programs than thats a problem
