Has anybody ever gotten ad ware in an archive file?Any real reason to let ad aware scan them?
I've not had any personally but I see no harm in scanning them. If you select a Full Scan in Ad-Aware SE it will scan within your archives even if you don't have that setting checked off. Usually when they request a log file they will ask that you do a full scan.
