I understand that.  But her lead off question and my followup questions are 
still unanswered.

I found a "manage blocked/allow" link but it would not let me do anything 
because I had not yet blocked or allowed anything.

How does one add items to the block/allow list?

I searched the helpfile for "default" and "settings" and "change" and 
similar key words and combinations thereof, but got absolutely nothing that 
comes close to answering the questions at hand.

If these default settings can not be changed, and I am beginning to suspect 
that is the case, that means we are at the mercy of Micro$oft to decide what 
should be deleted or ignored or quarantined.  And right now they are 
defaulting to ignore adware... a decision that I do not like.

I'm sorry if I come across as a jerk... it is not my intent.  And I may be 
blind or just plain stupid, but all I want is a reply from somebody/anybody 
that says something like this:

"Default settings can be changed at this menu: 
"Tools/Options/settings/default/change".

Thank you for your magnificent show of patience.

Don
