Hello, everyone.

I have Kaspersky Antivirus, and I just recently ran a full system scan. I had just installed AdAware a little over a week ago.
When running, KAV informs me that it found a password protected archive that it wanted to scan in the AdAware downloaded setup file. I prompted it to skip the file, and then it found another similarly password protected archive file in the d/led setup file. I had it skip that as well. Those did not concern me much, but later, in the AdAware directory, KAV found yet another password protected archive file.
Why are those archive there, and why are they password protected? I don't recalling being given a password for these files, and would like to be able to perform a true full system scan with my antivirus software. Is there a way I can do this?
Thank you ahead of time for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Carlos F.
