spybot freezing
Tom
Did this freezing continue or was it just a crash?
If this is a person spybot could be choking on the push downloaded ad files
they were zip files but may be encrypted- there may be megabytes
I've had spybot die many times when conflicts with other programs although not as often as with ad-aware
I try and run them with everything else shut down
Now if it spybot will not start at all
Well first I'd try safe mode and post up a hjt
remove and reinstall spybot
spybot will not remove all of dap- nothing will
your reader could try pest patrol, msas or counterspy, spyware doctor, aluria
each will find things the others miss (with some overlap)
I do not know if anybody else targets
Symantec has a write up as does Pest Patrol- print them out and go hunting
He may find hundreds of files and megabytes of files= I have several times
do a search on speedbit, dap, ads, ads1, etc etc and delete
you'll get a feeling what most of their files are called
you will see that they scatter files over many directories and in obtuse places
I still have this "reinstaller" -can't find it
I block with hosts and I think Erick blocks with ie-spyads
DAP will try and access the interent even after running ALL of the above anti-spyware tools- sometimes after months of delay
