I run WinDef on my PC, and FINALLY ran a full scan (usually I run Smart
Scans). Well, it found a bunch of stuff I never heard of, which is
fine--eZula, Claria.GAIN, NCase, etc.--and I was just going to wipe 'em all
out, but <b>THEN</b> I noticed that most of them--of course--seem to be
attached to screensaver .exes I downloaded. For instance:
Category:
Adware
Description:
This program has potentially unwanted behavior.
Advice:
Review the alert details to see why the software was detected. If you do not
like how the software operates or if you do not recognize and trust the
publisher, consider blocking or removing the software.

And so on. Now, obviously I know about this stuff when I download it, and I
always DE-select installation of any of this crap when I run the installers.
I run many anti-spyware programs frequently (again Smart or Quick scans). My
question is this: if I instruct WD to remove these items, will it remove my
downloaded .exes, or somehow weasel the nasty stuff out of 'em?
