is "windows syncroad" an important part of windows starting and what is windows syncroad?
I also have another question involving syncroad, everytime that i shutdown windows tells me that syncroad has performed an illegal operation, what is the cause for this and how can i fix it?

P.S. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Try a google search for it. And for the cures. This is adware.

Give the wrong symptoms, get the wrong solutions.
 
uninstall Syncroad in Add/Remove.

I suggest scanning for other malwares, usually you don't have one, you have a bunch.

Ad-aware is a nice, quick, easy tool

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.

wonder why you never give the program's HOME site ...

Quicker to get to the download, if they just go there and pop in the term ad-aware

tt4u,
There are several downloadable packages that users need to get where the download. site is the easier access and faster transfer. Sometimes it is an earlier version, and that is a negative, but mostly they are current. And mostly you don't have to jump through any hoops.
Given the choice of the original or a mirror I ususally choose the mirror.
 
yep;
ok I see - I too choose mirrors over hoop jumping, and I haven't even visited many of those 'hi-traffic' sites in a long time - just that from going to like a cnet or zdnet or pcxxxx site in the long ago past......it was there that the hoops needed to be navigated through. It's always the highly publicized mirrors, and a place like the adaware's home nowadays must really be off the charts.
