Could a few MVP's or other pro's help with these newbie questions...
I'm using WinXP-pro and just installed Lavasoft AdAware, for starters. Of
course I know there's no such thing as "good" spyware, but what I mean is...
when it comes up with a list of 50 things and asks if I want to quarantine
them...
a) how do I decide (based on the scant line item phrase presented for each
thing found) *which* ones to quarantine vs. which ones might actually do
something useful and
b) the last time I quarantined, it seemed to turn into "delete" just after
that and they were gone... is there a way (or would I want to) "park" the
questionable items (I thought that was what quarantine meant) and maybe wait
a few days and see if something isn't going to work anymore, and
c) if there is a way to "park" things and I later find out they are needed,
how can I put them back.
Pls excuse the newbie questions, but I would greatly value any suggestions
offered. Sure I can try the Adaware board next, but WinXP wiz bangs seem to
have a broader perspective about these things.
Thanks,
George
