What is "Adware.Bargain Buddy" and how do I get ri

mnfshrman · Cadet Joined: May 14, 2004 Posts: 4 Location: USA

After running NAV it shows me I have one at Risk File called "Adware. Bargain Buddy". It will not delete it and I can't seem to find it on the system. I've seen elsewhere that I go to Control Panel and use install/remove, but it doesn't show up. I've even put the name in Search and it doesn't come up. Any help in getting this off my system sure would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David

Download the latest version of Ad-Aware at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
After installing AAW, and before running the program, FIRST update the reference file following these instructions.
http://www.lavahelp.com/howto/updref/index.html
Now do the following:
- Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Scanning Engine:
check: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."
- Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Cleaning Engine:
Check: "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Press "Scan Now"
- Check option "Use Custom scanning options"
- Check option "Activate In-Depth Scan"
- Press "Select drives\folders to scan"
- Select the active partition which is usually C:
Now press "Next" to let Ad-aware scan your drives...
It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys.
Right-click in that pane and choose "select all"
Now press "Next" again.
It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.
Finally, close Ad-Aware, and reboot.

Reboot.
