Ok. Done
(Also..I meant security centre says everything is enabled.. firewall, auto updates etc, emsisoft is the virus protection)
It's only the trial version, I'll get something more permanent sorted out.
going to run ccleaner and sign off for now.. thanks for all your help
:starmod:you're awesome.. act like it:starmod:0 -
No problem.
Is emisoft just a trial or has it been purchased?
You can probably set these services to manual or even disable them using services.mscO23 - Service: AOL Connectivity Service
O23 - Service: Ati HotKey Poller
O23 - Service: Google Update Service
O23 - Service: Google Update Service
O23 - Service: Skype Updater
One thing though when disabling any background auto updater - you must manually check for updates periodically. You can usually do this through the program itself.0
