Hi, after we do a spyware scan and a list of results comes up, is it best to select the 'Block All' or 'Delete' option?
I mean, why not just delete them to hell?

What spyware program are you referring to?

I know with Ad-Aware you have "Remove or Quarantine'" I recommend "Quarantine". Then use your computer for a while and make sure any quarantined files is not need it.
As for AOL Spyware, never use it...

Thanks, but AOL Spyware often traps a lot of spyware, so why are you saying to not use it?

As for quarantining, yes that was going to be my next question- suppose I quarantine a load of stuff and then find a program won't work;
A- how will I know the quarantining is responsible for it,
B- how do I know exactly which file (out of possibly dozens) to fish out and restore to get the prog working again?

Dear MickinDevon,
I've been using the free version of Ad-Aware for long and always used the "delete" option with no harm done. Lucky? Never Quarantined! Best wishes.
