Hi Harvey,

SAHAgent is an adware program that downloads and displays advertisements. It
has to be manually installed so it was probably installed along with another
program your friend installed. It's unclear in your post what is shutting
down, is it Ad-Aware? I suggest you also download SpyBot Search & Destroy
and if you don't have version 1.05 of Ad-Aware, download it again. You can
get them here:

SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.3
http://spybot.safer-networking.de/en/index.html

Ad-aware SE Personal Edition 1.05
http://snipurl.com/96mb

Install both, update each before you run them, and then run both. They work
well together in that at times one will identify something the other one
missed. Thereafter, they should be updated and run on a regular basis. Once
the system is clean download, install and update the following two programs:

SpywareGuard
http://wilderssecurity.net/spywareguard.html

SpywareBlaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Once installed and updated these two do a good job of protecting you from
getting the 'bad guys' in the first place. They run in the background but
should be updated often. Good luck...

I downloaded and tried to run Adware on Windows 98 SE but get when it gets
to 3 alerts it the program "Sahagent" has performed an illegal operation &
will shut down.  I don't know what this program does. I trying to scan for
spyware on a friends computer which I think has lots of it. Can any one

time. Her computer has been locking up at times.
