Hi Again!
So I uninstalled SpyBeware as you recommended.
Now, I ran ad-aware and it came back squeeky clean! I ran
Shreddar the other night and it came back clean. So I ran
SpyCop tonight and it came back with bugs but to remove
them I have to register and that I cannot do because of
IE. I tried updating it before I scanned but it
says "error connecting to SpyCop server".
So will I just reinstall the OS and stop bugging you or
have a another solution??!!!
A VERY frustrated Irish Gal!

Since I don't like to type any more than I have to, I'm going to
cut'n'paste from a reply I made to another poster, who was also
wondering about a product which required "registration" ($$$)...

3 errors Missing DLL/OCX/COMClasses w. 'High' priority.

No idea... probably ghosts of some of the pests you rid yourself of a
couple weeks ago; low priority. If it turns out to be something you
need, it'll let you know when you try to run it.


5 errors Missing Shortcut or Invalid Path Medium

stuff you've uninstalled which hasn't completely, or things you've
deleted, or have fallen off your WMP/etc. MostRecentUsed Files... *no*
priority would be a little more accurate.



1 error Connected Drives Missing Low

sorta weird but if there's nothing wrong, shrug... perhaps a USB drive
or the CDR/DVD part of the CD drive, maybe a virtual network drive.


What I don't understand is, why any of the other applications didn't
detect
those things.
Maybe they are not that important, but three ot them are supposed to
be of
high priority.


If you aren't getting any errors, I certainly wouldn't worry about any
of them; looks like standard system hiccups.

What is your take on that?


A half decent registry-cleaner will get rid of most if not all the
problem listings. Couple largeish threads on that a few weeks ago.
