I thought I'd outgrow a couple things as I aged, but it hasn't happened: Still love rock music, dancing, sci-fi and horror films. Nice to meet ya! Would love to travel more but it just isn't in the budget.

Hi. I am a new user of CCleaner and am just wondering if I need to continue using AdAware. Thanks in advance!

Yes you still need adaware and all your other security programs. CCleaner does not remove viruses/spyware. Its purpose is to clean up junk on your hard drive.(temp files)

Adaware is ok but there are better ones around. Check out the link in my signature that says "recommended security applications" for more suggestions. :)
