This could be long... woke at 330am to flashing lights. Front porch light, fluorescent mini twin tube thing, has decided its disco time. Windows has many programs that run as 'Services' in the background. They all have Start/Stop buttons on them but pressing that Stop or Start, might make an UtOh. Some will start at boot others start only when something manually triggers it. Some of the Services are important things windows can't live without. One way to access 'Services' is the 'Computer Management' window. You should look around in there, & Manage things. Interesting place. Its Event Viewer will solve all your window problem... heh/ at least tell you the UtOh's. -- Disk Management is there, it'll help you defrag or change a drive letter. -- Device Manager is there too, look and fix hardware problems or update a driver. Computer Management window, I look in its event viewer often when problems arise, always in hope the link there that will take me directly to windows support will have the magical fix. Sometimes it does, sometimes not. ~ Yes I have installed and have used AdAware2007. Used AdAwareSE for many years and when the newer 2007 version came out I immediately started using it. I have never thought of 2007 version as much different from AdAwareSE. Just a newer version - To me its the same old thing, only it does start as a service -- and, for the Free version there's really no reason for that service to always be running in the background as the free AdAware doesn't do full time spyware protection like the paid version does. Might as well set that Service to Manual so it doesn't start up except on demand. Saves a small amount of memory by not running. If I remember right, frp, back in the day.... I dunno, a yr ago? .. AdAware said uninstall SE completely before installing 2007. Uninstall is a simple no brainer from the Add/Remove in control panel. No special considerations needed. Install of AdAware2007 is about as complicated as making sure you get the Free Version otherwise its a no brainer too. Sounds like you have been happy with SE... If I were you I'd just unistall SE (if its the Free version), and install the Free verion AdAware 2007. Leave the service running always in the background ? really doesn't use a lot of RAM/memory, but it uses some so its a coin toss whether change the service to manual or not. If you dont have another program doing full time spyware protection, you should consider finding one. My choice is Windows Defender, its free and simple. , please

RC, I'm not more concerned about Magic Jack than the others, I mentioned those because there were just so many of them. I have Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Spyware Blaster, and update and run them about every two weeks. I just don't know what else to do to stop all this Spam, and find it odd that some have those messages on them. Sue

", I'm having a problem with the iPad, email is locked." some antivirus software makes you answer everytime you open a program this usually get less frustrating over time, since you will give it permission for each program you use. after a few days, you usually use most of them, and it stops asking. I am tinking this may be why your email is "locked" you either answered NO for it, or, for some other reason it isnt giving your email permissions to open. You may have to go into the antivirus menu/settings people always forget to do that.

The google tool bar comes with the (Java update) and nothing to do with the SuperAntiSpyware up-date.. I only pointed that out because the java up-date to 5 was also available on the same page that SuperAntiSpyware was... So I guess any time we up-Date java google tool bar will be installed I had never noticed that before & think it is sort of new..
