I believe that I have a virus on my computer because my bandwidth from my dsl connection is almost cut in half, and when i just installed the new edition of ad-aware on my computer, it put three icons on the desktop. The weird part about the ad-aware thing is that it says that it cannot read from the source disk. The computer seems to be running slower than normal, and i have looked in msconfig, and the windows directory to spot a virus with no look. I have also virus scanned from panda, and norton. Please help. I have windows xp pro, (866 piii, 384 mb ram

removing the adaware might be a solution to hear from your story. Did the problems start after you installed it?

also, i just tried running the cleaner, and it said that there were problems in that it couldnt scan some files in C:\System Volume Information\_restore. when i followed up on these files, it said that i couldnt delete them because they were in use.

you can't delete C:\System Volume Information\_restore because you have system restore turned on
