Have to restart to load network drivers

[Guest]

Not too long ago I noticed that the network drivers weren't loading (at least
the little icons in the tray weren't there) when I started up the computer.
There also seemed to be something running the background that wasn't found in
the task list. If I shut it down and restarted, the network drivers loaded
without a problem. I noticed that there was Giant antispyware running, which
I couldn't shut off. I'm kind of stumped. When the computer first comes on it
seems to be running or downloading something, but the only app is the spyware
updater. Even if I just wait for a long period of time, it seems to be
running sluggishly. If I restart it, there's never a problem. Any ideas?

There is no "bump" on Usenet. You should be able to change Giant's
antispyware options from within the program. Are you talking about the
Microsoft Beta Antispyware program? Remember, "beta" means software
that isn't finished yet and is still in the bug-checking phase.

Make sure your computer is clean:

When you know the computer is 100% virus/malware free, if you are still
having problems do some clean-boot troubleshooting:

Please note: Bumping the post has "no effect" on whether or not you will
get an answer. This is a method for some "web based" forums exclusively and
needs to be "avoided" in Usenet.
