Comment: Hey, call me paranoid, is Ad-aware realy that safe and reliable, No spyware is included? And when i did scan my system i found the following: 12 Save Now files(clicked on one and went to show properties and my display properties came up) , 2 double click files(txt), 1 Alexa from regestry, 2 other that are OTHER and they're text files(paranoid@valueclick[1]) which comes to a total of 17 components, Now does anyone know which ones i could safely delete and serious? Thanks for any help you might offer

Alexa. Got rid of it after countless connection attempts to firewall.

Reply: Thanks Norm, i deleted the Alexa thing but before i had something in my tools called Related Button or links and it was loaded with Alexa stuff, booted up my computer and IE 6 seems fine, and just finished scanning with Ad-aware and Alexa seems to be gone, but i backed up the key, just in case. Thanks. (Thats 1 down)16 to go!

Reply: You can delete them all.
Adaware is, as far as I've researched, reputable.
