Thanks GMan......I only have the one McAfee that's free from Comcast running along with it's free firewall. It's probably just my old pc. I'm constantly trying to do 2 things at once and most of the time it doesn't like it very much. But I just do not have the funds to get a new pc and seeing as how I don't like learning new things on the computer I REALLY don't want to get one with Vista on it. I'd probably be in tears :-( I tried running spybot again last night and it looked like it had found one thing (even tho I'd just ran adaware) but AGAIN it totally froze my whole pc.....dangit!
