Quarantining them is Ad-Aware's method of 'saving' them in case one of them has gotten too close to your TCP/IP stack or another program that, upon removal, will fuck up your computer. If you've quarantined them and your computer still works, then this means that deleting them will have no serious effect. But honestly, I wouldn't go out of your way to delete them. I never do and I've never had a problem.

Besides, if there is a bit of adware that might fuck up your system, Ad-Aware will throw you a warning saying 'this might not be wise' and give you the option exclusively. So you should be fine. If you can still do everything on your computer you could before, don't worry.

As for the amount....geez, is this your first time running it? The only time I got that amount is when I first scanned! You might want to hit Spybot as well, just to be safe.
