Archived from groups: alt>computer, others (more info?)

Hi,
after AD-Aware has run and after I having deleted some dangerous
files:
Actalert.exe, Internet Optimizer, manage.exe, etc.
when I make the reboot of my PC Start/turn off, manage.exe
my PC doesn't reboot correctly anymore but when I go to Start/turn
off, it opens a window tells me that it cannot turn off the PC because
thereis a "rundll32.exe" running.
"The application doesn't work", then after some clicks it turns off.
I have also deleted their keys in Regedit.
What can I do if I want turning off my PC correctly?
Thanks

bye Fogar

Try running Spybot to see if there's anything that Ad-aware missed.

I know this is a little late but I've had adaware corrupt or delete drivers
when I used it on my brother's computer. I always check to see what's it's
deleting now....

B**L S**T. Ad-aware doesn't corrupt nor delete drivers. Neither does Spybot
S&D.
By removing adware it could hamper your "ad-supported" software thats all.

On the Start menu, select Run
In the box, type: sfc /scannow

That's what he said. I've never tried it.

Hi,
I have done everything you told me.
I have written in Start>Run> : "sfc /scannow"
A window tells me to insert Win XP Professional Service Pack 1 CD but
when I insert it into my CD-ROM reader it, a window tells me that it
is a wrong CD.
Perhaps is not there the Service Pack 1 in my CD?
Therefore I have downloaded "ie6setup.exe" from Micrisoft site,
I think it has the Service Pack 1 but when I launch it, a window tells
me I have already a newer version and it is impossible to install it.
What have I to do, please?
Thanks very much for your advice,

bye Fogar
