Adaware has always done such a good job I'm used to just right-clicking, choosing "select all" and deleting after a scan. I just ran the update on my AdAware 6 and it told me I needed to update to the new AdAware SE. I did so and ran a scan. But before deleting, I looked carefully because I was surprised to find 50+ objects come up as possible browser hijacks. Turns out these were bookmarks in my favorites. If I had just deleted all I would have dumped a bunch of my bookmarks. Just a heads up!
