Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

If you use a HOSTS file, beware of this new issue.
Ad-Aware has decided to include a new detection when scanning the HOSTS
file. This now creates a "Bad hosts file entry" in the log file generated at
the end of a scan. The best thing to do is to place a check in each entry,
right-click and select: "Add selection to ignorelist". Otherwise if you let
AWW "fix" these items it will trash the HOSTS file! Even if you have it
"locked" by [example] SpywareBlaster or Winpatrol. It does not return the
attributes and renames the HOSTS file incorrectly to hosts.

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

"Nonresponsive Program...help!" <Nonresponsive
[email protected]> wrote in message
Every so often, especially on particular websites, the computer freezes
for a while. Sometimes I'll press control-alt-delete and end task, but
other times an "END NOW" box will come up and I'll press end now. It will
slowly disappear, and then I'll submit an error form to Microsoft. This
happens on websites that I need to be on. How do I prevent this from
continuing and running as usual without having to read "You chose to end a
nonresponsive program"? Thank you!
