*
Special note to those who use Hosts file blocking! If you use a Hosts file edit to block content, this option can cause some of these entries to be detected and then presented for removal. Please be sure to review this content at the end of a scan and select those entries that you wish to ignore in subsequent scans with Ad-Aware SE. This will avoid any unwanted changes to your Hosts file.


Button
Proceed: Click "Proceed" to save your settings and return to the Ad-Aware SE main Status screen.

Note!
Clicking the "Proceed" button is not required after changing the settings on any given configurations screen if you will be making changes in more than one area. You DO however need to use the "Proceed" button to save all changes made when finished with setting your configurations.
