Hey, I downloaded that AdAware program last night. The download went fine and when I rebooted it came up with a list of data mining files, everything looked great, but then I decided to reboot and make sure everything worked. When I did, Explorer had an exception error and Norton AntiVirus came up with an error. These were the same errors I got and had to call Dell to help me fix, having been diagnosed as "Winsock Errors" Anyway, being a Dell I was able to do the F8 and restore to a previous configuration which set everything back the way it was. I'm not sure if AdAware has a problem with Windows ME (I was told ME has Winsock problems) or maybe that I didn't disable and unload some of the probrams that automatically start on bootup.
The Ad program looks good, just wondered if anyone else had a similar experience and learned any best practice for loading it? I'm convinced those datamining programs are what's slowing things down and want the security of knowing somethng's getting rid of them.
