Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

If you use a HOSTS file, beware of this new issue.
Ad-Aware has decided to include a new detection when scanning the HOSTS
file. This now creates a "Bad hosts file entry" in the log file generated at
the end of a scan. The best thing to do is to place a check in each entry,
right-click and select: "Add selection to ignorelist". Otherwise if you let
AWW "fix" these items it will trash the HOSTS file! Even if you have it
"locked" by [example] SpywareBlaster or Winpatrol. It does not return the
attributes and renames the HOSTS file incorrectly to hosts.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

wrote in message no good with pcs, not even sure if I am on right page for
my prob but I AM DESPARATE. Similar to Gloria on 21/7 I
can log on to home page for internet banking/savings/ISP
providers etc., with no problems but as soon as I try to
access my accounts or log on to any page which requires a
password or personal details I get the "page cannot be
displayed" message. I follow instuctions to no avail and I
have been told that my settings, whatever they are, are
all O.K. MS suggest anti-virus fault, anti-virus suggest
some sort of spybug, F9 suggest software so I am going
round in circles at between 50p and £1 per minute and
still no further forward. Any help or suggestions
appreciated.
