After installation Ad-Aware will update to its most current rev. with the Update Manager. For me this was the longest part of the whole installation. (I sat for about 15 min thinking maybe I should just go to lunch and it would be done when I got back but before I even get my coat on it was complete. )
The Ad-Aware Icon will now be on your desktop its just that easy.

Open up the Ad-Aware program by double clicking on the icon and the following screen will be displayed:
Click on the green circle in the middle of the screen to get to the scan window.
The following will be displayed here you can choose what type of scan you want done.
--A smart scan will do a quick scan of all the critical areas. While a Full scan will do a more detailed scan of your whole computer.
When the scan is complete you will get a window like this. My whole scan took a little over 7 min.
You can see a more detailed list of the object Ad-Aware has found and what their recommended action is by clicking on the double arrow down button.
If you agree with the recommended action. Then all you need now to do is click the green button. To change any of the recommended actions simple click on the arrow down button next to the action for a list of alternatives.
Once the action is complete you will get a screen telling you that you were successful.
For the basic computer user that is all you really need to know to get your computer protected.
For the more advance user, Ad-Aware offers a whole bunch of options to set up Ad-Aware to your liking.
