    It would not hurt to run a pass in Safe Mode if there is a stealth infector.
    That was my prescription ;-)

    | I downloaded Adaware. I had trouble with the other one. I ran adaware in
    | safe mode. 417 thingies. then booted and ran it and 123 more.
    |
    | Finally got Trend Micros downloaded right-its kind of complicated-and ran it
    | and it said it detected 4 viruses and later on in the log said 0 so maybe
    | that is where it cleaned them.
    |
    | Do I still need to run Trend in safe mode?
    |
    | thanks for your help.
