I completely got rid of Adaware. Running it screwed up my IE and made 3 other programs lose files. I use Spybot and at least it tells you what you are going to toss. I will never use Smiley Central and despise people who send me emails using it. My other PC has been solid as a rock without any spy/ad protection. Never had a problem with it in 4 years. The only thing on it is a regularly updated Norton AV. No Cleensweep or frills. This new PC has been a nightmare since I tried all those programs designed to stop attacks. I will be taking it in for a 3rd reformat next week, to try to get IE working again. Then will run it without all the crap. I think SP2 is one other reason for all this. I did believe in Firefox,but now it seems there is problems happening already. Leads me to think that all these big companies actually send this stuff out themselves. What happens when there is word of a virus...people flock in millions to install AV programs. Put a threat out of spybots....people go install Adaware and the like. Jobsites get bombarded with broken windows and vandalism....3 days later a security company comes knocking asking if you need a guard. That's my thought.
