Hi!
I am not sure if this is correct place to post next question??!!
I have Windows XP HE and Norton 2007. After I scan hard drive I get the message AD-WARE low risk. When I want to delete AAD-WARE I get message
"Cannot be deleted". Any idea about AD_WARE and how to delete it??
Thank you!
Toni

Well, I'm not familiar with Ad-Ware in particular although, it could just be referring to Ad-Ware in general which is any malicious program that's sole purpose is to bring advertisers messages to you in the most inappropriate ways.

Personally I would ditch Norton and go with AVG's free products. I have found them to catch nearly everything the big commercial guys would not.

Id rather remove viruses by hand then use norton (or mcaffee for that matter), just use avg anti-virus.

just remove you anti-virus!

just kidding

look for further information about the ad-ware specially their name, then you can search on the net how to get rid of it, good luck!

You can go to www.filehippo.com and download a ad-ware remover. I found spywareblaster and Ad-Aware very helpful. Spywareblaster gives you the option to remove things manually for the more advance users. Ad-Aware is very simple and easy to use. C-Cleaner is also great to clean all your cookies and temp folders.
Hope that helps!
