- To Minimize AdsGone Popup Killer: Click the [X] in the upper right hand corner of the
Adsgone Window.
- Spyware Scan: When you first install AdsGone, you will be asked if you want to run a spyware Scan. Otherwise, you can
have it scheduled to run at night weekly or daily.
- SpyWare/AdWare: SpyWare and AdWare often serve ads to your desktop. They are basically Trojan
Horse viruses that don't harm your computer, but send personal information to companies on the internet. One
of their primary purposes is to serve popups and other ads to your desktop. AdsGone will detect and
close these programs.
- Notification: If any SpyWare or AdWare is detected, you will be notified and asked if you want
AdsGone to close the program.
- Customize: By default, all known spyware/adware programs will be closed by AdsGone, but you can
always allow them if you wish.
- Automatic: When AdsGone periodically downloads ad updates, the list of known SpyWare and AdWare
programs are also downloaded so this list changes as new titles are discovered by A1Tech.
