RandyL Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 OK It seems this can be problematic sometimes. Let's just take some baby steps to start with and see if that works first. First of all keep System Restore on. FOR NOW. Update the scanners we suggested. Right click the stopzilla icon in the system tray. Click exit. Go to add/remove and uninstall it again. Run the scans agains. If everything works well let us know. If not there are other steps to take. I have heard where this program produces false positives.

RandyL Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 It might also be wise to uncheck everything in the startup tap in msconfig related to stopzilla before uninstalling. Start>Run>type in msconfig>startup tab> uncheck stopzilla entries>apply ok etc>reboot. Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.

Dalo Harkin Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 They can be unticked - if you no longer use them - and if further down the line you want them on again you can just retick them - The best way though if you do not use them is to just remove the programs via add/remove Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
