Rick,
Looks like I have the same problem. After I ran the
Adaware last night - it started with my Internet Explorer
not responding then today when I tried to logon, it
kicked me right out. I'm just not sure about the recovery
console. I have a compaq computer - it came with
a "system recovery" CDs. Is this the same console?
Help! Harry
