Dawn,

Have you updated Ad-Aware & Spybot - S & D?

Ad-Aware has a way newer version.

You may have CoolWebSearch.

CoolWebSearch may be causing the Ad-aware problem.

I was able to run adware with adware cloak 1.0 without shutting down this
time YEA!!! can I run adware cloak with spy bot 1.4 and Mcafee. I havent
tried spy bot or McAfee to see if they still shut down, yesterday when I ran
spy bot it shut down when it got to (coupons & offers )
When I scan it shuts down the computer it self I have to push the reset and
push the button to turn it back on.

Mcafee. You can try.
