What is this? I did a scan with Housecall & it couldn't delete. Should I
be concerned?
Thanks,
Marsha
 
I did Google before I asked my question here. Sorry, but I don't really
understand much of what they are saying. Please explain it to me in plain
English where even I can understand.
Thanks,
Marsha

The Google searches indicate that the ADW_SE entries are a false
positive by the Housecall scan. That's not to say your computer is
clean; since I can't see it I can't say.

Go through the general malware removal steps here:

Make sure you do the preparatory work. If you don't have a current
antivirus installed, make sure you scan with either Sysclean or David
Lipman's Multi_AV. Read all the information at the above link.

I would also scan with Ewido. Then see where you are.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).

Thanks Malke, that explains it much better. I feel like it is a false
positive. I am not having any problems & none of my other scans are picking
anything up. I appreciated your help.
