Whew, what a day and 1/2 it's been! I had downloaded that adware software and quarantined some files. When I realized my PC wasn't running properly, I restored all the files. Well guess what?? My PC was even worse! I couldn't get on the internet or anything! It had totally corrupted my registry. So instead of messing with the registry, I opted the easy way out! I reformated and did a clean install of Windows!

So the moral of the story is.... BEWARE OF ADAWARE!!

It was just a pain in the neck! But the good news is, my PC is running faster and better then ever! I did a clean install of Windows 2000 (I was running '98 before). Then I spent an hour completely updating it. Then I immediately installed my anti-virus software!
