Question about Ad-Aware program

[Guest Molly in AL]

After a recent problem with my computer, I think (from some informative

replies) that some of my problem came from using Ad-Aware incorrectly. I

thought the program automatically quarantined critical files before deleting,

but that's apparently not true. Is that correct? Also, if it finds critical

objects whose files begin win WIN, does that automatically mean they're

system files? If I quarantine instead of delete these files, will it solve

the problems they've created? Or can Ad-Aware actually clean up these files?

 

 

Thanks for any information! :)
