I have not been able to run any updated av since I cannot
get online with this machine.
I did update adaware on my other computer, burned it to cd
and ran it. It found and eliminated 41 spyware objects but
I still am not able to install the aol software.
I get to 83% installed and error messages come up and shut
down the installation.
I called AOL and they claim the error messages indicate a
windows problem
error messages during installation:
Comp01 has caused and error in CRYPT32.DLL
Comp01 has caused and error in WINTRUST.DLL
