Title: sony Vaio help needed
Post by: lizzylobs on July 05, 2007, 02:48:12 PM

I've just bought  Sony Vaio laptop from one of my sons friends  *scared*  so far I've managed to get rid of most of the skank that is on it but when I try to run Adaware it crashes the system -I've run a full virus scan this afternoon and deleted cookies etc  but still can't run Ad-aware .....I don't feel 'clean' till this is done    :tard:   any help gratefully recieved  :TY:

Hi Lizzy, what version of windows is on the system?

look at this one as well:

it does as good a job as adaware, a little bit smaller in size for memory so it may not crash your system.
