If one deletes the MRUs listed in Adware, what happens?. Is the list simply deleted or are the actual files/transactions pointed to by the logfile location info deleted?
The reason for the question is that I believe that my "IE History" file was emptied by Adaware. I may be wrong. Perhaps, I did it another way. But, if Adaware is capable of doing that I wanted to know a) how to turn that off and b) what other files can Adaware delete that I might need to protect. The MRU list gives me a history of all the programs that have been used since last scan, for instance, "wordpad". I assume that is simply FYI data to assess computer behavior....and not an actual link to those files which might be removed by deleting MRUs. Thanks.
