I've had a slightly different problem with Ad-aware in that each time I run it, it only finds two items, both labelled DR180Solutions. When I tell the program to delete these it opens the deleting items window and then just hangs and the only thing I can do is to close the main Ad-aware window.
A related question (or two):
one of these two 180solutions files is located in C:PROGRAM FILES/SEARCH-ASSISTANT/SAAP.EXE and the other is in the registry (huge great filename extension!).
Can I just delete the SAAP.EXE file (and, if I'm feeling brave, the Registry file) without causing terminal damage or does it do something else important as well?
What is DR180Solutions, anyway? I was using AntiVir recently and it picked it up several times but said it couldn't delete it because of its location in C:\RESTORE\ARCHIVE\...FS295.CAB Ad-aware doesn't mention this location at all, and AVG anti-virus (and Trend Micro's House Call) don't even find it when I run them.
That shouldn't be a smiley, it should be colon backslash!
