I know I'm gonna get ridiculed for this but I don't want to make a big mistake running the program. I ran the Quick Scan a bit ago & it showed 3 bad entries : Disabled. Security Center Registry Data. But then it says "close all apps. before removal"...........herein lies my reason for posting..........I don't know what apps. to close. The only one I really have "open" is MBAM alto' there are several icons in the task bar. Am I supposed to close my AVG & ZoneAlarm? If so, I should go offline first, right? , then will MBAM still function? I tried to find more detailed instructions before I posted this but couldn't find anything addressing my question, which is probably a stupid one. But just ask Jean, she's had to put up with my dumb questions at her site. Thank you.
