Hi Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I had thought spy assasin was from adaware? In fact I went to that site to download it. could it be that I got switched?
Anyway I will follow you good advise. However, for my own knowledge and better understanding, how could a spyware product, as inefficient as it might be cause so much grief? and it has done it only n this machine even though I have it installed on two more.
Thanks again
