This is on the stupid computer I'm trying to get HP to replace anyways, as it's been back for 3 yes, count them 3 repairs since DECEMBER 06. Not including the previous hours that I've spent on the phone with tech support trying to get the darn thing to work.
Any problem that's possible with a laptop, I've had it with this one. I finally got HP to admit they've had problems with this particular model, moreso than normal. Although this is the first time they've heard of ONE person having SO many of these problems. I told them it's just my luck, LOL! So, now I might get a different computer out of it. if not, it's off to the BB and WA state Att. General for me <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
But in the meantime, I'll try to run those antivirus programs. I do have Mcaffe, does that mean anything?
Thanks Candace and Em.

There's also some extremely persistent adware out there that you might need to take off manually. After you run spybot and ad-aware restart the computer and rerun them, if it is still coming up with the same adware write down the names and look them up online, there are a tone of help websites that step by step instructions on how to remove them.

Virus software (like Mcaffee or however it's spelled) is useful, but it doesn't tackle adware. Adware isn't technically a virus. It's just crap that finds a way onto your hard drive. It doesn't screw with programs or delete anything, it just runs. And when you get enough of those damn things running at once (they can easily run and give you NO clue) / taking up hard drive space, it can really efffff with your computer. So you really do need an adware program in addition to your virus program.
