Removal is optional and may cause some so-called 'adware' programs to stop working. You can build backups easily before removing adware components or fixing your registry. The included backup-manager lets you reinstall a backup with a single mouseclick. You can also select to ignore certain components, and keep them on your system without triggering an alert each time you scan.
Be sure to check the Web site for the latest reference file after installation.
