All the addresses in my address bar disappeared again. I didn't clear cookies or history or anything. All I did was run AdAware. Why do they keep disappearing? Any ideas? XP btw.

AdAware will clean them out usually, unless you UNcheck the list of recently entered addresses in microsoft internet explorer item in the Scanning Results that come up after you run a scan, but BEFORE yoiu click on next to remove them.

- or just dont check any of the negligible items, they usually aren't that important unless you are trying to erase all evidence of where you have been surfing.

Spybot has the same feature and you would prevent it from cleaning out that information in a similar fashion.

Oh. I did get rid of the negligible objects because I didn't know what they were. Well that's a nice feature if you get a lot of crap in your address bar.
