The "use custom scanning options" is not a default setting, but yes the rest
are. The main reason I keep this checklist (which came from a useful
newsgroup post) is to check a customer's machine when they already have
adaware installed. You never know what settings they have messed with since
it was installed. Doesn't hurt to check them over and verify them,
especially in Fred's case. LOL!
