Using Ad-Aware for Windows
Documentation table of contents.
Introduction
Some Internet companies use scripts to insert code into your computer. These changes are often undetected by anti-virus software, but can result in pop-up ads, replaced home pages, and data mining software, which sends information back to an online source. Lavasoft's Ad-Aware detects and removes these changes from your computer.
