i realized i downloaded something that wasnt adaware, so i tried it now, but it says there was a fatal error and will not install from the wizard. presently i am at cnet downloading other things they have
I got desperate and tired and eventually searched "remove winantispyware" and found SpyHunter. I payed about $60, because their free version listed So many items in the registry. But I didnt want to copy down so many codes, so I bought their services; Which for the past few days has stopped the wose part of winantispywares attack, which is unwriting whatever you type, and, returning back to homepage. If you want to see how they work, you may want to check out their free download. I still have no use of my keyboard backbutton, and my computer still beeps at startup, and still have to restart several times before I can type in my password: but they charged me so much that I should get them to help me with that. I warn you about purchasing from spyhunter; at checkout, they have several items at the price advertised and one is marked "recomended" I checked that one but the check out button is also marked about $30, so you were expecting to pay $30 and get charged $60. I wrote them about how I felt their checkout page was deceptive in not being very informative about that. HAVE A GREAT 4TH !
Well if they charged you that much, they should help you :thumbup:

Note on Enigma SpyHunter: Enigma's SpyHunter anti-spyware application was listed on this page primarily because of the company's history of employing aggressive, deceptive advertising (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The company was also known for exploiting the name "spybot" in its domain names and online advertising. These objectionable business practices were employed primarily from late-2002 to mid-2004.
Sometime during summer of 2004 the company halted the most obnoxious and objectionable aspects of its online advertising. It also unloaded all the "spybot" domains (which were promptly picked up by Paretologic for its XoftSpy anti-spyware application).

While there are still unresolved allegations that SpyHunter transmits the Windows Product ID from users' PCs (1), we can no longer classify this application as "rogue/suspect." Nonetheless, SpyHunter – at least in its current state – cannot be recommended because of its mediocre performance as an anti-spyware scanner. Testing indicates that it does not recognize some well-known spyware installations and has difficulty removing critical spyware/adware files even from those it does recognize (1). Given the many excellent competing anti-spyware applications that are available (some for free), users would do better looking elsewhere for trustworthy anti-spyware protection.
Is it posible that my back button on the laptop keyboard could cause things to unwrite? The back button on the keyboard has not been working, and from the same basic time, it began to auto unwrite what I type. and, to jump back to previous page. Could it just be some problem in my keyboard doing all that backing stuff where not wanted, and not where wanted, the key? Or, could it be an attack internally? I hooked up this external keyboard, and it is not unwriting, and the back button from this external keyboard works. Could it be something within my computer why the back button on the laptop doesnt work other than an attack?

I think you answered you're own question. It appears the laptop backspace key is bad.
