I have scanned my computer using Ad-Aware se and it always comes back with 2
registry keys files. I seem to have alot of spyware on my computer,
including my "Favorites" continues getting things I never added and I
continue deleting. They keep coming back. I have been running my Norton
Anti-virus and I keep it updated. Any help, I may just take it in to the
shop?

Ad Aware and anti-virus are not enough. You need a spy removal program too.
Look at Spy Sweeper www.webroot.com

Windows-KB890830-V1.6.exe is the latest Microsoft Malicious Software removal
tool.

CW Shredder version 2.15 should also be used. I think it's at
www.intermute.com or search Google.

Ad-Aware won't catch everything. First eliminate any spyware.
