5. Once you have completed the initial scan, you may need to run another scan after a certain amount of time.
6. Go ahead and run the second scan, when you are clear to do so, you can see when to run this scan by hovering your mouse over New Scan in the upper right hand corner. Then when you are presented with the screen below. Go through the log carefully, and un-check anything that you are sure is not malware. Deciding by the detection rate, I would say anything with more than 6 detections is safe to leave checked.
7. The items under the inconclusive header should be safe they are unchecked by default, they should stay that way.
