So am i good now?
How can I stop having the same problems in a week or so?
Cant thank you enough for all the help0 -
Lets get rid of that service so it doesn't cause problems. Read this carefully & let me know if you envisage any problems.
- Open Notepad
- Copy and Paste everything from the Code box into Notepad (Do Not include Code:)
@echo off sc stop "McAfee SiteAdvisor Service" sc config "McAfee SiteAdvisor Service" start= disabled sc delete "McAfee SiteAdvisor Service" sc query "McAfee SiteAdvisor Service" >"%userprofile%\desktop\svc_look.txt" 2>&1 Notepad.exe "%userprofile%\desktop\svc_look.txt" Del %0
- Make sure there are NO blank lines before @echo off
- Make sure there IS one blank line at the end of the file.
- Go to File > Save As
- Save File name as Fix.bat
- Change Save as Type to All Files and save the file to your desktop.
- Close Notepad
- Right-click Fix.bat on your Desktop and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Notepad will open. Post the contents in your next reply.
- It can also be found on your desktop, named svc_look.txt

with regards to the installed programs, are you using discs created by you or did they come with the computer. There are a lot of games and stuff that I would not expect to see on a fresh install0

Waddler, i followed your instructions up to save to desktop-but there is no look.bat on the desktop-there is a new icon with a cog as a pic and "fix" under it, nothing else0

It looks as though they have installed then. It wouldn't hurt to choose the Repair option.0
