Note:
Unlike in previous versions of Ad-aware, cookies are now treated as files.
After you have made your selection, click the 'Continue' button to delete the items of your choice.
After cleaning, you'll return to the title-screen.
Sometimes a message pops up, saying that one or more files could not be deleted by Ad-aware.
in this case, they are used by a process that could not be unloaded.
You need to reboot your computer and run Ad-aware again to remove them.
To prevent this in the future, please close other applications before you run a scan, and make sure that
you have no active internet connection.
