Close all open browsers or other programs you have running.

You can clean (delete) the following directory contents (but not the directory folder) If you have anything you know you want to keep here, can you move it to a different folder for the time being:

* C:\Windows\Temp\
* C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ <=This will delete all your cached internet content including cookies. This is recommended and strongly suggested.
* C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp\
* C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
* C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp\
* Empty your "Recycle Bin".

Please use this command to run Ad-Aware SE again:

Click "Start" > select "Run" > enter the following text written in bold, (including the quotes):

"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal\Ad-Aware.exe" +procnuke

Note: The path above (between the quotes) is the default location of Ad-Aware SE, if this has been changed by the you, please adjust it to the location that you have installed it to.

If you have Ad-Aware SE Professional click on the gear icon to access the Configuration Menu.
Click on Tweak > Cleaning Engine >
UNcheck "Always try to unload modules before deletion".

Run a full scan. When the scan has completed, select Next. In the Scanning Results window, select the "Scan Summary" tab. Check the box next to each "target family" you wish to remove. Click next, Click OK.


Reboot and repeat the Ad-Aware scan in safe mode. (Accessed by pressing F8 repeatedly while booting up)

For help with IE6 issues try this.

Go to start, run, Type in regsvr32 Urlmon.dll. You will recive a pop up saying sucess. Notice the space between 32 and Urlmon. That must be there

Xp sometimes will unregister this dll file and a few others, No clue why. Some other dll files you can do the same with are below.Remember to do each one seperate and after they are all done reboot.
Dont forget the space after 32 and put .dll after each one of these.
Mshtml,Actxprxy,Oleaut32,Shell32,Shdocvw
