Switching my attention back to Windows Explorer on my desktop, I noted and deleted three folders, because I have become extremely suspicious of anything in Program Files which starts with Windows, except for the obvious like Windows Media Player. More so when they contain "ad" in any shape or form.
The three folders, which I still hold in the recycle bin pending confirmation they are baddies, are Windows AdControl, Windows ServeAd, and Windows SynchroAd.
Am I right to be deeply suspicious? If so, should I have used Safe Mode to delete them or will a simple delete from Explorer do the job?
P.S.
Whoa!!!! Cannot believe this but AdStat has reappeared on my lappy! Arrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
