Both computers run idential XP operating systems and McAfee ad aware Internet Security.Both computers are connected through the same network with a Linksys router. All other access to the internet works perfectly.The laptop, which I use 20% of the time is fully able to connect to LavaSoft and get updates.The desktop, which I use 80% of the time receives an immediate "connection error, check your settings." It does not even get a chance to access the internet.Any ideas on ad aware connection why I cannot connect? Any chance spyware is involved?Thanks for your help!
