322857 2005-02-09 00:20:00 Hello Folks,

I downloaded AdAware and scanned my system and discovered that I had quite a number of items of spyware. Some still remain, though, and when I attempt to deal with what's remaining, AdAware freezes on me. Any suggestions? :help:

322858 2005-02-09 00:27:00 You could try running Ad-aware through Safe mode. Overdrive_5000 (4950)

I haven't attempted 'safemode' yet as I'm going to try to run AdAware and then try to get rid of the spyware in chunks by cancelling before it freezes.
