A few days ago, I did a full spyware scan on my desktop PC with
CounterSpy. It identifed a few registry entries as spyware and suggested quarantining them. I was pretty sure it was wrong about that, but I let it quarantine them anyway.
I think that was a mistake. The machine has been acting a bit weird ever since, and it pretty much fell apart today. To make a long story (relatively) short, I went back to a system restore point before the CounterSpy changes, uninstalled CounterSpy, and reinstalled StarDock's
ObjectDock, which had gone quite wonky. I
hope I'm back to normal now. The moral of this story is:
Never trust CounterSpy.
