FAQ
Detected Tab
As you run a scan, spyware detected on your computer appears here in the Detected tab. Once the scan is finished, in most cases you will want to select the spyware items for removal by selecting Remove. If you want more detail about your detected spyware, simply check the box next to Show Description.
All items are automatically selected by default. You can use the Select All or Select None buttons, or individually select spyware items in the list by clicking the checkboxes. After you have made your selections, the following actions can be taken against detected spyware:

Remove: Will remove the spyware and move it to a protected folder that will prevent it from further harming to your computer.

Quarantine Tab
After you click the Remove button, the spyware displayed in the Detected tab is disabled and moved to the Quarantine tab. When spyware is quarantined, it is prevented from doing any further harm to your computer, but is not completely deleted. Because removing spyware may sometimes cause other problems for your computer, it is recommended that you leave spyware in Quarantine for at least a week or so. When you have used your computer for some time after quarantining and encountered no unusual problems, you can safely delete the spyware in quarantine.
You can use the Select All or Select None buttons, or individual select spyware items in the list by clicking the checkboxes. After you have made your selections, the following actions can be taken against removed spyware:

Delete: Completely removes the spyware from your computer. As noted above, it is recommended that you delete spyware only after you are sure that your computer is behaving normally after quarantine.

Restore: Removes the spyware from quarantine and restores it to your computer. Restored spyware items will show up in the Detected tab the next time you scan.

Trusted Tab
After you click the Trust button, selected spyware in the Detected tab is ignored and will not appear in future scans. Typically, you would select this option for programs that you recognize and want to keep using. For example, many add-on browser toolbars are detected as spyware because they commonly send information regarding your surfing habits back to the toolbar company. They may still provide a valuable service to you, so you probably would want to select them as trusted programs.
