Y'know Carol, I thought I was done with this @#$%^ but I've run into more problems.
When I run Spybot it hangs at 643/3594. Following Spybot's instructions I tried
to do the advanced mode exclude C2.lop but it does not load anything onto the screen
for me to check to exclude. Spybot's forum is down for file updates today so I can't
post a query. Additionally, though I've altered my temp files to only accept 8MB
I find I am unable to delete my temp files: When I run the *.tmp search it comes
up with over 10,000 and says that I have to refine my search. When I try to select
all and delete what's on my screen it goes to an hourglass icon and never comes back.
When I try to find the *.tmp files by date and take them on incrementally I reach
a point where it says there's an error and it cannot delete files. Meanwhile my
browser is continually self-launching to Explorer even though I'm using Netscape
as a bypass. I have Spywarebaster installed but I don't think it's doing anything,
and I'm not sure that I can do HijackThis without having fully run Spybot successfully.
I'm at my wit's end.
