The related sites feature you probably removed with AdAware for no
good reason, as far as I can see.
There is no spyware in the Registry key that AdAware removes.
If you let AdAware remove it, then try this:

Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.

Ensure the first long line does not wrap at the space in
"Internet Explorer"

The last line must be blank.
Doubleclick fix.reg

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions\{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}]
"MenuText"="@shdoclc.dll,-864"

64,2e,68,74,6d,00

"Icon"=",4"
"HotIcon"=",4"
"ButtonText"="@shdoclc.dll,-866"

Hi Alan,

Have you tried REGSVR32 /i SHDOCVW ? That also brings this extension back :-)

Hi Ramesh,

No, I haven't, but then I only run AdAware once a year for the heck of
it and I don't let it remove Related or the other couple of items it
falsely flags.

Hi Ramesh,

I just deleted the key and used REGSVR32 /i SHDOCVW and the key came
back exactly as it was. Interesting!
I shall revise that potted post. Thanks.

Most welcome, Alan. The only problem is that Related.htm is not restored (not a problem though, as Ad-aware does not remove it afaik.)
