find Ad-Aware easy to use and eradicate spyware. When it comes to SpyBot, I have concerns whenever Registry entries show up as problems. (same concern whenever using any sort of registry cleaner) That is.......
Does the application (Spybot S&D in this case) ...remove the entire key and contents , or just the data or values at end of the string displayed?

IOW , is it generally safe to eliminate the items listed by SpyBot that exist in the registry?
I have ignored at least 6 that appear with each scan , which relate to my free version of Download Accelerator. I'm concerned it wont function if it cant run the ads , etc. Is there one type of registry entry in DAP that I should be concerned with , and allow S&D to remove?
