I'm getting so annoyed. I usually kno where a problem is on my computer and can fix it. but I am so stumped right now. I have no idea on how to fix this. I suspect it being spyware. because when I run adaware it finds shitloads of shit. and then I remove it. and when I reboot. my internet won't work. so I have to do a system restore and have all the adware and shit back on here. and then after a couple of hours my internet will act like it's not working. yet my AIM stays connected and then after 10 minutes of that it just reboots itself. I seriously don't wanna reformat because it's too much trouble. so if anyone smarter than me has had this problem and can help me. I'll do anything.

have u done more than just running adaware?
Isn't it just just a version of something like Gator somewhere installed on your PC reinstalling it everytime you start your PC?
And.. are there are names/sites/whatever that pop up while working on your PC?
Sometimes you can easily fix it yourself without running Adaware.

I think I found the problem. but whether it was spyware or not. I couldn't remove it because one of them makes my internet not work. so if I remove every piece of spyware on my computer I'd not have the internet. thanks for the help tho.
