    do you have a firewall?? if not try zone alarm(free version) from zone labs, also try adaware6 from lavasoft to check for spyware

    either update it manually or go to this link for updates http://www.lavasoftusa.com/, just went to site to confirm link & found out they are discontinuing adaware6 in lieu of adaware se, so you better download it than do updates just like i've done
