When I run Ad-aware SE,which I understand is the newest one
it ends up showing me a bunch of MRU's,if I delete them,
they keep coming back. What to do...Thanks
 
Not to worry. As long as you use your computer MRU (Most Recently Used)
lists are going to be listed. These MRU lists contain information such as
the names and/or locations of the last files you have accessed. They are
located ALL OVER your registry, and for almost ANY file type.

In Ad-Aware MRUs are listed under Negligible Objects. Objects shown here are
not considered to be a threat.

They are part of the way that Windows operates. Not much you can do.

Hi,

Go to your own link below and read the explanation:

"detect and clean MRU (most recently used) lists on your computer"

These lists generate as you use windows, search,run,find etc etc they are
not malicious and deleting them is so that nobody else who uses you computer
can see what you've been searching, running, or doing on your PC.
You must of noticed that after running Ad-aware that all drop down option
boxes are empty.
