I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about this??? My Ad-aware freaked out yesterday..normally it just showed tracking cookie blocked and such, but now it shows "registry modification detected" then it shows it again and again, to the tune of 1 time per second. I ran a system scan, and my old mcafee stuff and found some bad stuff, some trojans - deleted all and now the virus scan comes up clean, but I'm still having the same problem with the registry mod. Any ideas? Help, I'm clueless.

Doesn't the adaware scanner tell you which program or process is modifying the registry??

Rule #1: Good Computers don't go down.
Rule #2: There is no such thing as a good computer.
