    Has anyone ever had the problem of Ad-Aware remove links from the favorites list?

    Just recently, after and update from Ad-Aware, all of the links from my favorites started disappearing.... including the link to this forum...

    I now know it is forsure Ad-Aware doing it because again I added this site to my favorites, then ran Ad-Aware, and the link disappeared again.

    Any idea why it's doing this and how I can stop it?

    I know this forums link is safe and I see no reason why it and others keeps being removed...

    Hello A & O,

    Don't have this problem.

    You seem to have automatic removal set in AAW's options.

    Set the option (gear symbol) to "safe Mode (always request Confirmation)" and look at the detail lines and the reasons.

    Regards - Charles

    Ad-Aware is already set in "safe mode" and does ask for confirmation but it still removes everything even if I tell it not to...

    It might help to do a complete uninstall/reinstall of AdAware (and update it as soon as you reinstall it).
