Ad-Aware

Create HTML Vulnerability Report

SUMMARY: Create a vulnerability report with Ad-Aware that you can give to computer technicians.

After performing an Ad-Aware scan you may find results with items that you are unsure about deleting. Remember that not everything you find with Ad-Aware must or should be removed - that is why Ad-Aware has an ignore list.

If you wish, you can create a report of potential vulnerabilities in HTML format, meaning that you can send this report to a friend or technician and they can view the results in a web browser.

To create this report:

1. Open Ad-Aware and perform a scan.
2. View the results.
3. Right-click on a result line and choose "Export HTML Report".
4. Browse your computer and find a folder to put the report in (or on your Desktop), give the report a name, and click "Save".
