Quick Start FAQ
Status
The status area displays information about this
program, including the version number, definition file number, the number of
Adware/Spyware applications it protects you against, the number you have
removed, and the date your last scan was completed.
Scan Now
Click the Scan Now button to scan your computer for adware/spyware. You will be
brought to the Scan section of the program, which will be empty before you start
your scan:
To start the scan, click the Start button.
To pause the scan at any time, click the Pause button.
To stop the scan before it finishes, click the Stop butotn.
Any threats that are discovered will be shown in the scan status window:
When the scan is finished the Continue button will appear.
You will then be presented with a list of threats that were found on your
computer. Check the box next to each one you would like to remove from your
system.
You can use the Select All button to check every entry in the list
automatically.
To remove the threats you have checked off, click the Remove Selected button.
Any threats that are deleted will also be backed up to the Quarantine folder in
the directory that you installed this program in
Scan Options
We recommend leaving all of the scan options
enabled at all times
Scan Running Processes
Running processes are programs that are open on your computer. If adware or
spyware is currently running on your computer it will be detected by scanning
running processes.
Scan Windows Registry
Many spyware and adware programs place entries into your system registry that
allow them to be executed when you turn on your computer, or track information
about you. If these registry entries are present on your computer they will be
detected.
Scan Internet Cookies
Many websites track personal information using cookies. Most cookies are
harmless, but some are used to track your browsing habits and target you with
advertising, or store personal information without your consent. If these
cookies are present on your computer they will be deleted.
Save Scan Results to Log
This option will allow you to view a log of your scans using the View Log
button.
Proactive Protection
Auto-Protect
Auto-Protect continuously monitors your system's memory in search of threats.
Some threats can cause harm to your computer just seconds after running, so
enabling Auto-Protect is an important step to stopping those threats dead in
their tracks.
If a threat is detected you will be alerted automatically, and you will be given
the option to stop the threat from running. We recommend performing a system
scan immediately afterwards to remove any files or registry entries that the
threat may have created.
Home Page Hijack Protection
Many spyware and adware programs will attempt to change your Internet Explorer
Home Page and direct you to another site. Their motivation might be to get you
to download new adware/spyware, display ads to bring in revenue, or direct you
to a webpage that pays them for web traffic. Enabling Home Page Hijack
Protection will allow us to alert you whenever your homepage changes, and allow
you to choose whether or not to allow that change to be made.
Run at Windows Startup
Enabling this option will allow this program to run automatically whenever you
turn on your computer. We recommend leaving this option checked all the time.
Schedule
You can schedule scans to run automatically using the schedule section of the
program.
To start a new scheduled scan, check the Enable Scheduled Scans checkbox.
Next, select an item from Run On list.
To choose a particular day of the week select the day in the list
To run scans daily, select the "Daily" option.
To choose a particular date and time, select the "Date/Time" option. Then select
a date and time for the scan to be run.
When you are finished, click the Apply button.
To reset your changes, press the Reset button.
Keep in mind that you must leave the program open, or minimized in the task bar,
in order for scheduled scans to run, and your computer must be turned on.
Auto Update
Enabling Auto Update allows your computer to periodically run Live Update and
ensure that you always have the most recent definition files available.
Definition files are updated as new threats emerge, and we recommend that you
leave this option checked all the time.
