Hello,

I'm cleaning up a computer that has six users. I ran Ad-Aware twice (in safe mode) for the first user. After it was cleaned, I ran Ad-Aware on the second user to see what happens. I was suprised to find even more scumware files. After the second user account was cleaned, the same issue occured on the third.

Is there any way to get Ad-Aware to scan all user accounts at once?

BTW-I did find an option that if I remember correctly, stated that it would do just that. However, it was already checked and still scans only one user at a time.

Suggestions?

Ok so you are running XP/2000?

In XP when you create a user with a password it gives you the option of making your personal files unaccesable by other users. If this is checked then no it wont scan all users.

so patience grasshopper and use the force. :)
