Hi
Thanks for you replies. It got late last night and I shut down my pc before any of you posted.

What are the names of the Lavasoft archived files?
Are they actually part of the Ad-Aware program? or past scans?
If the files are password protected you are pretty safe leaving them where they are if space on your HD
is not a issue
Well, I can't see the "Scan Result" at all today, so I can't tell you the exact name of the Lavasoft files.
When I look in Program Settings, the icon for "Last scan result" is grayed out. So, when you close Avast!, you lose the ability to see the last scan result? Is there a way to save the last scan result so you can see it next time you open Avast!??
Before shutting down I did try to put all the entries into the vault, but kept getting an error~~cannot be moved to vault. Does the vault not accept files from archives? Or, does the vault
only accept only files with a virus? Thanks!!

Thanks for the explanation about password protected files~~very helpful!
When you run scans with the above programs and you delete harmful entries that they detect, a copy is kept (in quarantine/restore/backup) in case you need to reverse what you did. These are usually password protected, you should do some housekeeping and delete old backup/recovery/quarantine entries (older than two weeks or so), this will reduce the numbers of files that can't be scanned.
Okay, I am a newbie and have no idea how to delete old backup/recovery/quarantine entries (older than two weeks or so). I would like do as you say; so, please~~can you tell me how to delete those files?? Thanks for your help!!

Thanks so much for the links & screenshot. The screenshot looks like my scan result for Lavasoft looked~~I
think it is exactly the same, but not sure, and I can't pull the scan result up now to check.
I did not delete the files, so I assume that they will all show up again in my next scan result~~~unless I find out how and delete them in meantime, as DavidR suggested.
This is a great forum!! Thank so much guys for your help!!
