    Not sure why it wouldn't work as we wanted, theres always an exception to the rule, but rather you be happy with a clean machine.
    I just wonder though, if it had to set instructions for everything you opened?

    Might be best to try and follow safe surfing practices

    Juliet -

    Not sure what you mean by "maybe it had to set instructions for all you had opened"...but all appears to be running very smoothly - and is very fast...like when it was new a few years ago.

    Your computers security interfered or it had not had enough time to set rules on your computer, or it's just not going to work on your machine.
    Typing to fast with a 5 year old hanging on to me, made me look like.....

    Very happy to hear it.

    Juliet -

    One final question - should I be purging all quarantined items? I just ran Spybot again and it found Incredibar again. When I ran Spybot, it fixed it. Then, I checked in the quarantine and there were many Incredibar references listed there. I purged the ones that said they were Incredibar and Double-Click, but am left still with a large list of items. The titles of the categories are: Internet Explorer, MS Direct3D, MS DirectDraw, MS DirectInput, MS Management Console, MS Media Player, MS Paint, MS Regedit, Windows Explorer, Windows Media SDK, Windows OpenWith. All of the above titles also have a box under them that says: All Detected Items of Product

    Do I purge all those, too? And, should I be purging all quarantined items after every run of Spybot, if it finds anything?

    Sorry, I am just trying to make sure I run smoothly from here on out.

    Does it give a location?

    I have found an application which might work on your machine.

    Thank you, Juliet...I will give it a try and see what happens. Am I just supposed to download it? I see that it runs in the background?

    It;s worth a try.

    Create a restore point first in case you should have to remove it later.
