i did run spy bot and also updated the spybot program..
i had just been running it with out updating it...
but it sometimes has mystery things it wants to delete
such as anti-virus disable, or microsoft alert disable.
or firewall disable...i usually do not click these,as
they would like something i would like to have in place
to be notified about.

my adaware (lavasoft) scans some files then freezes...
it does not say which files it is scanning only how many
files it has scanned, but it always stops part way thru.

thanks for advice...will check further...
and defrag, and run system scan with anti virus, etc.
