Yes, you get rid of EVERYTHING - especially of things you still need. :-( Is there any developper on this list who uses a Microsoft DDK für NT4, 2000 or XP? You cannot use Adaware on such a machine, as it always stumbles on the headers and source files of the provided examples, especially the network examples. It tells me they would be part of some malware.
Ad-Aware has a nice thing where you can pick to ignore certain files. Do a scan of your system and be very careful on the first scan to go through and see what each thing is. Mark all your DDK stuff as ignore. All done. And seperately you might want to email the LavaSoft guys and let them know about the false positive. -- Joshua Levitsky, MCSE, CISSP System Engineer Time Inc.
