oops
« on: March 31, 2005, 09:14:56 PM »
OK, let me start at the beginning. I downloaded adaware to try to get rid of spyware, it kept locking up, so I went to their website to follow their directions.  After I followed them and ran adaware in safe mode, when I restarted my computer, there was nothing but the desktop picture, no icons, no taskbar. Well, eventually, I realized it had to do with the profile, there were 2 profiles, one was mine, one was administrator. I deleted the profile that was mine, (b/c the icons were coming up in safe mode under admin) but it wouldn't auto. logon as admin. I deleted my old profile and created a new one. Everything worked fine until I tried to connect to the internet. I have bellsouth dsl. It connects, like say if I go to ajc.com the site comes up, but it won't let me log in to anything, my credit union site home page comes up but anything I try to login to comes up as page cannot be displayed. I have reconfigured my modem and conections, reset settings to default, restored to a previous date, and nothing is working. I have a feeling it has something to do with the corrupted files in teh other profie taht I deleted.  Any suggestions? Aside from reformatting the whole thing?
Any help would be appreciated, and you can also email me at [email protected]

It is possible that a file got corrupted, but let me ask you this... Do you have virus protection? Also, which operating system are you using?

It's very possible about the corrupted file, taht is why I deleted the other profile and made a new one b/c something was wrong with that one, I just don't know what to look for? I disabled Norton and am using AVG virus and the firewall that came with windows right now..
Do you have any idea what file would be corrupted and how I could fix it that would make internet explorer act like this?
I don't know if I mentioned that I downloaded that foxfire, and netscape, to see if they woudl surf right, but it won't even let them connect..

You didn't mention anything about Spyware protection...
