LOL... TRUE, you DO have to know what to remove or you can end up removing system stuff/shared components - BAD idea. the scan will be a useful tool for most.

Btw, i had a terrible experience with Adaware... i had *ALL KINDS* of creepy crawlies get into my pc. spent a weekend removing them, one at a time manually... monitoring processes, picking through my entire disk and my registry *UGH!!!* that was several years ago - i don't know if it is any better now but i certainly won't go near it again.

i have used only AVG for several years now and it has been good to me.
