Search subfolders are checked.
For the options that you checked/enabled earlier, you may uncheck them after your log is clean. If we ask you to fix a program that you use
or want to keep, please post back saying that (we don't know every program that exists, so we may tell you to delete a program that we
think is bad to keep).
