I've been experiencing some unusual computer problems as of recently, and maybe someone here can help me pin-point what's wrong. I USE Mozilla Firefox and I've never had much trouble with spyware/ads, but I generally like to SCAN with Ad-Aware as a precaution, because you really can't be too safe. Well, suddenly I can't run Ad-Aware anymore. When I try to, I get this odd error message which appears to be written in German. I don't speak the language and I have an english version of the program.



That's the error I'm getting when trying to open Ad-Aware.

Also, I have this other program called POP Peeper which I use to check SEVERAL of my e-mail accounts. I can run the program just FINE, but when I click the e-mail msg itself to view it, nothing happens, literally. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling both, but that didn't help. I've looked in msconfig (i'm running Win98, btw) and there's nothing suspicious in there. I've also run HiJackThis and didn't really spot anything... and I RAN Spybot S&D, again with no luck. I use Norton Antivirus 2004 and it runs a full scan every night at 3AM, always comes up with 0 threats.

If anyone can give me some advice on how to figure out what's wrong, I'd appreciate it greatly. If you want the HiJackThis log, let me know and I'll post that.Don't know if this helps at all, but I ran the German text through Google's translator

I used the following text, as I believe most of the rest is just English words that don't really have German equivalents:
