From: AIANDAS on 1 Feb 2010 14:50 The following keys continue to make a nuisance of themselves and I am thinking to go brute force, go into the registry and delete them.

Go to Start, Run, and type in services.msc and press Enter. See if any services are listed for Active Directory and what the startup method is.

From: 20100201 on 1 Feb 2010 18:33 First I would get rid of AVIRA completely. It is dodgy and you get pop ups every time it updates to FORCE you to buy their professional version. It is slow and it is GERMAN. We british try to avoid GERMAN products in the same way as we avoid them in major tournaments like Football/Soccer. Sadly I have to advise you that you should backup your data immediately because there is simply no way out of this. your system has become very unstable. Please download or buy Norton Ghost 15 because in my opinion it is the best software in the market place to backup your data. Also, Norton Ghost will enable you to clone/backup your entire drive when you have re-installed XP SP3 so that in future you should be able to restore your system much more quickly then going through the routine install option. hth AIANDAS wrote: > > I am hoping to avoid the grief of re-installing the OS all over again.

No one is ever forced to do anything. 2. Avira is entitled to entice users of their free progam to upgrade to the "professional" program. These popups are no more than a minor convenience. Furthermore, one does not get popups if they disable them, and the method to disable them is straightforward and simple. |
