Diana, every little bit helps. There's no need to get rid of Ad-Aware, but be sure
to keep it up to date. Many people use both AW and Spybot and say they compliment
each other.
StartStop is a startup manager, so that's not simliar to those programs. It's not
whether you need it or not, but whether or not you use it and want to keep it. I'll
be happy to help you find out what those programs are. You can post a list, if you
want to.
Did Spybot find anything on your system, or was it clean? You could run Hijack This
and post the log it creates. Also, if there's anything in your startups you have
a question about, there's also an option to generate a Startuplist log, which you
could do after we go through the 'HT' log.
Download 'Hijack This' Unzip 'HT' into a new folder. Close all browser
windows and run it offline. Double click the .Exe file to run it. Choose Scan. It'll
display a list. Most of the things you see listed are necessary or required entries,
so don't fix anything, until you know which items to fix.
After the scan is finished, the Scan button will turn into Save Log. Press that and
copy/paste the contents in a post. Before you post it, please be sure to check this
