That's Ad aware for ya. It gets rid of pop-ups and behind the scenes programs that site's install, but it also screws up your computer royally! That's why I had to get rid of it and do a restore to a time when Ad aware was not installed. Now everything works fine. Free programs you dl are nothin' but trouble.
Ooooook, here's an update:
this morning I turn it on and.... π± it works fine π
so I use my keyboard to turn the computer off PROPERLY
I get my mouse & modem wires from my old PC and put them into the new one, turn on the new PC and it's stopped working π
so i think to myself "maybe it's the mouse/modem causing the problems"
i unplug them, turn it on again and still nothing π
so basically: the PC still works, SOME times.... but very rarely
