Alright, I got a few problems here. I just scanned my pc for Spyware and Adware and it found 30 of them suckers! I tried to remove them, but my spyware/adware remover says I need to update, and when I decided to it said I needed to pay $29.99! I don't have that kind of "dough" right now, so does anyone possibly know of any good FREE! spyware/adware removal software????

Thanks alot Avenger, Ad-aware really did the trick! It even found more files infected than my other spyware/adware removal software did. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

You still might want to git spyybot S&D.

It often picks up things adware misses.(has adware can pick up thing S&D misses)

Plus S&D is ALOT better at removing Hard to git rid of spyware..

I tried to run Adaware the other day, but it spit out this error about not being able to access the registry. I guess it wasnt fooled by Wine's mock registry... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]
