Hi, www.msnhome.com is *not* a Microsoft site to being with. Maybe you want
http://my.msn.com or http://www.msn.com. Sign into either with your
Passport.

Kenny: Couple of things, 1. did you update the def. files for Adaware first,
2. Also, many here run Spybot as well as each program has its strengths and
will find problems the other won't. 3. Also, sometimes you may have to turn
off system restore, reboot and turn sys rest. back on to get rid of
everything.

As that is good advise for most problems like this, www.msnhome.com is not
owned by Microsoft. It's owned by this guy...
