If you have, i'm wonderin how many processes running you have had and how many objects detected... I think I may have set a record on that when i ran it on my parents computer, i'll have to load up the screen shot in a little bit.
Oh yeah, also, laggy, I submitted ad-aware for the downloads database, wonderin if you deemed it "not worthy" or something.

Be a good idea to delete all that stuff, you probably would discover a new computer after that.

I think I found 600 on my parents computer. Thats what happens when that computer just builds up after 3 years.

not trying to be a smart ass here, but if it was xp's fault, every xp user would have their computer junked up like that.
even though i guess you could blame the spyware it'self, it's not too difficult to figure out that, operator error has everything to do with issues such as that.

hehehe, i just blame XP for everything, most of the time i know it doesn't have anything to do with it, i just like to make it the scapegoat :-D
