A Deep Scan is used to remove spyware files that have randomly created names and uses a special file ID to recoginize renamed spyware files. A Deep Scan takes longer, so we recommend using it only when you have a problem that is not going away.
To enable Deep Scan, please go to the settings screen of AdWare ALERT AntiSpyware and check "Deep Scan."

Why do I need new security software?
The problem with security software is that it generally doesn’t appear to be doing anything, until we experience a problem with our system. By that stage, your security software has failed and it’s time to panic, move on and look for more reliable technology. But if I haven't had a problem, why move across to new security software?

How can I protect my computer and protect my privacy?
Ad Aware includes the ability to scan your computer, registry, hard drives, and external storage devices for known spyware, adware, data-mining, trojan, and tracking components, Ad Aware SE can easily clean your system, allowing you to remain safe while you surf the web.
Ad-aware SE Personal Edition boasts a number of improvements. Extended memory scanning now scans all modules loaded by a process. Scanning uses the all- new CSI (Code Sequence Identification) technology to identify new and unknown variants of known targets. Extended registry scanning now scans registry branches of multiple-user accounts and performs additional smart checks to detect dynamically created references. Scanning speed is noticeably faster, and this version offers an Extended Scanning mode for known and unknown/possible browser hijackers.
New in version 1.06: Disk-scan is approximately 30% faster. CSI scan is now more efficient. Added "Scan for low-risk threats" option, to scan for targets with low TAC index. Ad-Watch CSI engine performance highly improved; using less CPU and Memory as well as having a smaller footprint. GUI adapted to use the new TAC.

How do I uninstall AdWare ALERT AntiSpyware and ErrorKiller?
One of the first applications built to find and remove adware and spyware, Ad-aware SE Personal Edition's excellent reputation is well justified. The sky-blue, skinnable interface features five buttons. The first two, Status and Scan, lead to the core function of the application. These buttons initiate a scan of your files for adware components. After scanning is complete, the program presents a summary of results, followed by a list from which you select exactly which components to remove. Right-clicking an individual entry gives some information about the piece of suspected adware, though we would like more details. Ad-aware SE can alert you to more malignant forms of malware by separating items into critical and negligible categories. The third button, Ad-watch, is nonfunctional in the Standard version. The fourth button, Plug-ins, shows you which Ad-aware plug-ins are installed. The fifth leads to the help files.
Ad-aware SE does an excellent job of quickly finding and removing most adware and spyware components, although you will have to restart and rescan for a seriously infected machine. We were pleased to see an auto-update feature included with the program, keeping Ad-aware up-to-date with the latest adware components. Ad-aware SE should be part of your arsenal for keeping your machine free of adware and spyware components.
