Ad Aware Question

[Juice Box]

When I am scanning with Ad aware it says i have 22 running proccesses, but doesnt give me the opportunity to delete them upon completion of the scan... how do I go about doing this?

These are user and system processes you do not want to delete them Pull up task manager. Are you familiar with TM? See if there are any "odd" processes running. Any you dont recognize as running b4 you had this problem?

I know TM pretty well, but when I pull it up there are more than 22 running proccesses. Ill take a sshot and post it, and maybe u can tell me whats wrong here

everything looks good there no funny stuff that I see. Did some searchin on google for some processes I did not recognize. All seem legit although mal-ware came be named anything. Hmm. You do have latest build on ad-aware se correct?

In this pic, the 8 processes listed at the left are not cause for concern. If there were any "processes identified" in red at the right, then those are a problem.

If there's any concern you might have spyware, just download Hijack This (a Zip file), run it, hit Save Log, and post the text from the logfile into Schadenfroh's spyware-removal thread over in Software for analysis. Follow his instructions step-by-step when he replies.

The info. that Ad-aware gives about Processes running does not mean Good bad it is just background info.

Read the content of the following pages there is some info about processes and a link to an util helping with process evaluation.
