I'd like to download and install both spybot and adware however, I've
read a few posts from some folks whose system really got messed up
after using one/both of these programs. One individual mentioned he
deleted some sort of commoname (spelling??) file and now he can't
download stuff off the internet anymore. I'm a medium level computer
user who usually follows wizards to get me through programs I haven't
used before...will this keep me from diminishing the functionality of
my laptop if I go ahead and use spybot and adware? Comments
suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
Mike Salazar
