Had never really liked that software...always seemed a bit clunky. But it had sure never done that before!

Anyway, the point is...I found another spyware scanner that seems great. It found a few minor things on my system that other scanners had missed. And it doesn't seem to be a resource hog...even when it's actually scanning. Remaining resident...barely even know it's there.

Here's a link;

Yep, it's M$...apparently they bought out this company and are now M$ branding the scanner. Sure seems to work well though

Really hope you get it resolved soon
that microsoft thing i use that already, on this moment i have removed , spybot, adwware and some other stuff, mcfee is doing some scanning now, i can get on the net if i click the icon windows update in my start thing, that way i can change the adress to get to an other page, clicking a link on this board also works it open an new page, but if i click for a new page from my puter the "e" icon it restarts again, now if the viruscanners cant find anything , then the only thing what would be left is, an system restore, any advice if i can fuck something up with that too? because if it will be fucked up after the system restore i am gonna throw my puter thru the window.
