So, after installing spybot (no other recent changes to the computer), my laptop's wireless adapter is being disabled every time I turn my laptop on. Very annoying.

Several previous threads noted that this could be a power setting issue, so I checked that. My laptop had the box checked to allow the adapter to turn itself off in certain power schemes, so I unchecked that box. However, it's still happening, which leaves me with Spybot as the only suspect again.

Thanks in advance.
