Re: Where does Ad-aware put quarantined files?

Hi there,
Ad-aware still has a quarantined folder and a log folder just like it has 
had in the past.  But it is no longer located in Program files under 
Lavasoft.  The log and quarantined folder are kept in a different directory.
Try the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\(Your user name)\Application 
Data\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware
Replace the (your user name) with your actual user name.  Now this is the 
directory that the folders are found on my system, but if you can not locate 
them in this directory try:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware
Hope this helps,
Chris Chaffin
