You can look through the whole list and view details of each detection
by clicking on "Tell me more". If you
think that the program detected is really useful for you (this might
happen for example with some types of adware or spyware-enabled
programs when you are aware of their privacy flaws but still want
to use them), uncheck it. After you make sure all the unnecessary
ones are checked, click "Solve checked problems"
and let Free Anti-Spyware solve checked problems. You can also click
"Export results to the text file", "Report
possible false positive" or "My problem
is not listed here. Please assist!". For more details,

can easily restore them. Every time Free Anti-Spyware deletes a
file or registry entry, it copies this file or entry into infected
folder. To restore some deleted files, you can
simply click on "Restore changes" and
it will switch to "Restore changes" screen.
There is a list of changes that Free Anti-Spyware
has made to your system. Select necessary file or registry entry
on that screen and click "Undo" and it
