Re: My Computer\'s Gone Berserk!
Well, Jerry, I hope I'm not in trouble. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I had to pick up a grandson at school after football practice, then go to the nursing home to visit my mother, etc., so now I'm back and have taken the advice you Jerrys gave me. The first scan showed 155 bugs, so after removing them, I checked on their "update" and sure enough, there was one, so after downloading it, I scanned again and it came up with 20 more. So now I've got 175 quarantined. Then I ran Norton SystemWorks and it said there were 12 registry errors and "fixed" them. So now, I just got back online, received e-mail all right and so far only two pop-ups (including one while I was typing this). And as with a lot of software, the "manual" for Ad-aware doesn't quite match what I get on the screen /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. I guess it's close; so don't know whether that's because they haven't updated their manual to match the newest edition, or whether what the manual shows is what you'd get if you were running a different version of Windows instead of this XP.
At least everything I've checked so far seems to be working, so thanks for the assistance.
