since ad-aware is the problem
uninstall it
let the program run
get microsoft anti-spyware FROM MICROSOFT'S SITE
install ms anti-spyware and be happy

some people are tempted to use p2p to download stuff you can download off of the internet that wouldn't be infested with viruses...

stupid roommate downloaded a wmv porn file off of limewire.
IT WAS A VIRUS. the virus slowly ate up all my disk space so you couldn't run a scan and would kill virus scans when you would run them.

no more limewire on my machine anymore, and my friend now has his own machine he can infect that i'll clean every once in awhile.
