I told a friend about it who was experiencing a 30 second delay on just about everything she tried to do via the net. Adaware sorted everything...
stop using internet explorer i use sygate personal firewall. it will inform you when a program attempts to access the internet, you will be prompted. this way you can prevent/eliminate majority of the adware/spyware.

Hey Alan I had nCase on my machine and it took me probably 25 hours to get it off. I started a thread here when I was having problems and on about page 5 of this thread the discussion turns to the Ncase item and it's relative, msbb.exe Relative is obviously not right but the two are related. FuturesTrader71 stepped in and you can see how much time he put in helping me with this thing. As the thread progresses you can see that I eventually get rid of it. If you read through the entire thread you should be able to copy my actions and get rid of the Ncase item. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37656&perpage=6&pagenumber=1
You'll usually find solutions if you google the term/name: N-Case http://www.pchell.com/support/ncase.shtml
Quite likely. M$ Beta doesn't scan for cookies - AdAware does. Imho PestPatrol is the absolute best solution - although I still run AdAware alongside.
