Warnings using AVG 8.0
I receive 25,000 warnings when I scan. They all start HKLM and say adware potentially dangerous. But the virus vault crashes when I try to move so many into it. It accepts some and then stops because it is full. It would just take too long to select and then delete each one. Any solution?

Yes, Interface,Tools, click on advanced settings, click on virus vault at top left, you can set your maximum virus vault size number of files you can transfer to the vault, and number days before deletion. Hope this helps.

but if they're just warnings it could be because of an immunizer program, do you have spyware blaster or spybot s&d installed?

avg picks up the items that the immunizers put in your registry.

Yes, I have both of those programs installed!
So how do I know if these warnings are good adware (to immunize me) or bad ones that need to be healed? Should I try deleting them; go back to those two programs, get back up to specs in terms of updates; and then scan with AVG again, to see if all 25,000 have reappeared?
