Hi , this is my first post and unfortunately I'm not very technical, but good at following instructions

Due to unwanted ads appearing I downloaded and ran "spy bot DC" earlier today (this removed 51 threat items).
I then read about mwb and someone who used spy bot suggested it was better, so decided to run the free version, and it found 181 items, all classed as pups (I think).
I have since tried to find how to search on each item to see if it is a good or bad pup, but google mostly doesn't recognise search or some very technical info appears .
Basically I'm not keen just to remove them unless I damage the main register, and would appreciate any advise on how to identify the various items listed in the scan log?
Any help would be greatly appreciated (I have included a sample of the current log below)

Thanx in advance

  so that you're alerted when someone has replied to your post.

NOTE: Please do not post back to (bump) your topic within the first 48 hours.
Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies.
If you reply to your own post helpers may think that you're already being helped and thus overlook your post.

• If there is no reply from any experts after 48 hours, you can reply to the topic, asking for help again.
