spyware bit

I found this reading the newsletter sent out by Sunbelt Software and thought it to be obscure enough, but possibly relevant when you least wish it to be:

"If you use Ad-Aware by Lavasoft and it removes the spyware program wsaupdate.exe, you may not be able to log onto your XP computer because the spyware also makes a change to the registry that is not fixed by removing it. You can use the Recovery Console to fix the problem."

I'm going to have to fix that word censor, aren't I?

That's better.

Now if I type microsoft it works, but .microsoft it doesn't.

And how about 'Microsoft'.

Could post by the way Sunflower, that is quite a gotcha there isn't it!

I find the number of "gotchas" with computers, at least when you're operating at my level of understanding, to be overwhelming.
