Thanks, R-C. I've seen elsewhere where people using the free version of Avira were offered a free upgrade to Avira Webguard (previously only available to licensed subscribers). It is Webguard that includes the Ask Toolbar. It was reported that if declined, the upgrade is offered at each restart. :( Personally, I'm more concerned about the uninitiated falling for the scareware tactics of Uniblue. After all, their trusted A/V appears to be recommending the Uniblue "Registry Booster" product and it proudly advertise itself as a "Microsoft Partner".

Okay, so I also downloaded the Process Scanner. When I tried to install it, I came up with this: I purged the program, and re-downloaded, with the same results. So I searched the site's forum and came up with someone with the same problem. The suggestion was to run the Register Booster. I downloaded Uniblue's Register Booster, and came up with this: Whaaaaaaaaaaaat ? 95% of what I know about PC's is from trial and error, lurking this forum and the rare postings like this one. I am so grateful to you all. My brother installed the OS, when at that time, I had absolutely no clue what was going on. So what is a server edition, and is there a solution to my dilemma? I ran Regseeker and tried to install both programs again, with the same results. WinME 4.90.3000A pentium III CPU 500 MHz 576 MB RAM

granniek, I was just helping someone elsewhere on another forum and found a link for the Adobe stand alone installer. Guess what the very first thing on the page displayed? Yep! You guessed it! Uniblu Registry Booster! Below that was a link that I thought was for the Adobe installer but as it began to install I noticed that it was not the Adobe that was installing, it was the Uniblu Registry Booster. Those sites really push the ads for registry cleaners and I believe that you may not even have installed the Photo Editing program at all. Look in your Add/Remove programs or Programs and Features list to see if it is there. But yes, if you are experiencing a slow down on your computer, have Corrine help you. I can help to an extent by having you run a few scans and posting a log but if any malware is found at all I'd have to send you to Corrine due to the fact that while I'm in training for the removal of malware I can not help those infected. If you choose to post at LandzDown I can follow your thread there as Corrine works here magic. Donna Donna

I am working on an Asus, Windows 7 PC. One year old Problem: I lost suitable graphic devices. Here is how I did it. I have been working thru the night with no problems. I read the advice Raven gave to someone about using Secunia and checked out my system and they found some vulnerabilities - Adobe and some Microsoft critical updates. I wanted the updates and got them. It was also suggested that I get rid of Quicktime which I thought I had. So , I did. Afterwards, things looked good and I continued my break some more to play solitare. The icon is on my task bar. I clicked on the picture and got "No suitable graphics devices found." This appears to be true of all my games that came with Microsoft. I got out my Seagate Go Flex and thought I could get it off there. Wanted to first use Kaspersky to assure it was safe. 20 minutes into the check I got a notice to turn the computer off - serious words (that blinded my brain)- if this is the first command to reboot then I should do it and I did. Things seem in order except the message of "not suitable graphics devices found." I decided to restore back 1 1/2 hours which took out only a critical Microsoft update (KB2588542) Don't know how I lost the devices but quite sure it is user error. Any thoughts? PS: Kept getting a message to use Uniblue. I didn't but looked it up it is partnered with Microsoft someway but the reviews that looked honest said to stay away from it.
