Hi Humpty , I just unchecked those two apps in msconfig startup and rebooted my machine. After Windows started a message said that I was using selective startup. Would there be an option in the actual programs "Adobe Reader" & "Microsoft Office" to stop them starting with Windows?

I'm with you "AJ" , I think the main page at http://www.piriform.com/ could do with a "freshen up", maybe for the new year

Hi Humpty , I've been wondering about apps in my startup folder. 1/ Adobe Reader Speed Launch. 2/ Microsoft Office. I rarely (hardly ever) use these apps. What's the easiest way to stop them from starting?

Hi CeeCee , After you close your browser, Sandboxie should prompt you to save any downloaded files and (added favorites) to your favorites list for example. If you do something like "change" your home page while your browser is (sand boxed) that setting wont be saved.

Humpty, Imagine that guy sitting in front of you at the movies!

I bet the guys in his cell block would be giving him a hard time

I'd love to take a joy flight in one of those , An A330 AIRBUS is the quickest plane I've been in.

Hi putnik , your not alone! This was just one of the "issues" I was having with Norton AV 2007, and today I dumped Norton AV! and I will never ever use it again!

Good find & great pics Humpty Never would have dreamed that Mars would look like that.

Hi Dennis , I use (Bluetack's Hosts Manager) instead of using Spybot. Button shows: ? Read Only: Your HOSTS file is Read Only. Click to make the file Writable. ? Writable: Your HOSTS file is Writable. Click to make the file Read Only. If you did forget to mark your HOSTS file as Read Only before leaving the program, the Read Only attribute will be set automatically. (recommended option to try to protect the file from non-authorized changes) It will switch to Writable automatically when you click the Save button or when an automated save is done. Disable ? Enable Allows you to temporally disable the HOSTS file. Instead of marking several entries as disabled, you can use this option to rename the HOSTS file. Don't forget to enable the HOSTS file again when needed, this will not be done automatically when you close the program.

Thanks Sputnik , after reading your reply I checked and It's working OK! I got updates. Is this a usual event with AVG?

Hi Sputnik And thanks for the news of the new release.

Hi Dennis , and thanks for the links. I guess I'm just stalling on getting rid of Norton AV, because I've herd that it's not that easy to get rid of! And because I actually paid for it! I want my moneys worth from it! Then again are the headaches worth it?
