hi
im having similar problems with adaware. i installed it, it found about a million things wrong with my computer and the NT countdown started. so i set it to run before windows opened, ran it, deleted the lot, and then my internet connection disappeared. couldnt fix it, so hit windows restore, but now im back to the original issue - there's a lot of crap on my computer doing damage. particular current problem is that when i try to open certain sites in IE eg www.gigsandtours.com, before the page loads IE shuts itself down and disappears. i can get hold of a copy of McAfee this weekend, but will i have the same connection deletion if i run that?
i dont know much about computers at all, any help much appreciated. why do people write things that wreck complete strangers computers?!
