well, i got permission to delete all undesirables.
i also scanned with MBAM and it came back clean except for one PUM; no biggie. did a search and will just add to ignore list.
However i'm surprised it only took 2 hrs to scan all drives. Avira takes about 8 hrs. makes me think it didn't do a very good job.
