Re: driver conflict???
Hi Tim,
I've been knocked out of a couple websites that just happened to be my home
page (along with a couple that weren't). My Aluria Spyware s/w has a "home
page hijacker" fix that didn't work.
I finally gave in, bought a 300gig hard drive, backed up all my files, then
restored a sort of 'clean' system from over a year ago. I instantly got my
home page back, and actually cleared up a couple other things.
Ideally, it would be coolest to reformat your main drive, then do a clean
install of your main s/w apps, including all virus and spyware s/w, then do
a snapshot of that, so you could restore to that. Then make damn sure you
backup regularly. I made a few mistakes like not going through my email in
Outlook and dumped several validation and registration responses from
companies I've bought download s/w from. Oh well... live and learn.
Hopefully I can find a way to get my reg# at their sites.
Good luck with your dilemma...
-Miko
