Hello eveyone!!

Whenever I try to scan my computer with Ad-aware for spywares, a windows pops up saying that the virtual memory of my PC is too low and I should close all the applications that are curently running; and after that my computer freezes...

Here is my compyter specificaton:

MS Windows XP Home Edition
Intel Celeron CPU
1.3GHz; 128 MP of ram

Any ideas?
