summary of a typical scan result.
| · | Summary - This section will give you a running total of the following (from left to right):
| |
|
| ||
| 1. | Running Processes - This is a report of the total number of processes that are running concurrently while Ad-aware is performing a scan. This is nothing to be concerned about unless it is excessively high (this may slow down the scan). This is here for your information and the details of these processes are included in the final log file report.
| |
|
| ||
| 2. | Objects recognized - This is a running TOTAL of all the recognized objects detected.
| |
|
| ||
| 3. | Objects ignored - This is a running total of all objects that will be ignored because the user has added them to their Ignore list. Ignored items will be listed as "Objects ignored". They will not be shown in the scan result-list and will be unavailable for deletion.
| |
|
| ||
| 4. | New Objects - This keeps a running total of all newly (unexpected) detected items, that are not on the Ignore list.Ad-aware will count all detected content as new except for those objects in the Ignore list (which it will see as old).Removing them from the Ignore list will force Ad-aware to see them as "new objects".
| |
|
| ||
| 5. | Detected content breakdown - This is the larger section on the right side. You will see the following:
| |
| · | Processes identified - This is the total number of detected processes. This is different from the total number of running processes in that this only lists the number of those that are targeted and/or dangerous.
| |
| · | Registry keys identified - This is the total number of targeted or suspicious registry keys.
| |
| · | Registry values identified - This is the total number of suspicious registry values. Please note that this is different from the number of keys because content may have been added to existing, legitimate keys.
| |
| · | Files identified - This is the total number of suspicious files.
| |
| · | Folders identified - This is the number of suspicious folders.
| |
| · | 34 Processes currently running on the system, none are recognized as a target.
| |
| · | 33 Objects recognized 'total', including 11 registry keys and 22 files.
