Lavasoft Ad-aware SE detects adware/spyware in registry

[Guest]

I have used Lavasoft Ad-aware SE personal (version 1.05) in the past and on
many occasions the software has detected adware/spyware in my registry.

From what i know it is not the best thing to tamper with the registry so was
wondering if infact by removing these spyware/adware it will damage my system.

Let Ad-aware SE make those changes. Lavasoft did extensive research and knows what Registry
entries should be removed. It is also hard coded into the software with an extremely small
chance of a mistake being made.

It is containdicated for the layman to make manual changes to the Registry without specific
knowlege on the use of editing the Registry because a mistake can have negative side
effects.

BTW: Ad-Aware SE v1.06 has improved performance and fixed a few bugs.

Really ? I go to porn sites and haven't had an infection nor noted and attempt to install
adware/spyware.
Therefore I'd have to say that is too broad a generalization.
