get rid of dap cuz of this:
* changes browser settings other than homepage, without user permission
* displays popup/popunder ads that cannot be closed by clicking a 'close' (X) button in the upper right of the frame
* silently connects to an unintended site (with or without redirecting the address request) during a browser session, to transmit usage or other information to that site
* silently connects to the Internet after reboot and without user awareness or consent in that session
* silently tracks sites visited along with identification of the user/machine by GUID, IP address, email address, name, SSN#, phone number, credit card info, or other identifier
* stays resident in background after exiting browser
(In several tests that we conducted, involving a range of bandwidths, we found Download Accelerator Plus to be slower than Internet Explorer 5.5)
that was all taken from that link i provided in my last post read it, it tells all about it, if u want a good dload program get flashget its what i use and i get dloads of about 375Kb/s on my cable with it, same with mozilla which has its own built in dload manager and pop up blocker also, ive never used or heard of dap before this so i thought it was something crappy u didnt kno about but since u do u should b able to uninstall it cleanly with the add/remove if u installed it urself without having to have hijack delete bits and pieces of it out of the registry and so forth, thats just my opinion by all means keep it if u want it but i would definitely uninstall it and get a dload manager like flashget which integrates into ie also and delete the other things i mentioned before and post back and tell me if that fixed ur homepage
