Hi jamesecampbeljr Easy fix.., Go to "Safe mode' and delete the folder..

As can be seen, none is perfect.. Source - https://www.raymond.cc/blog/what-is-the-best-anti-keylogger-and-anti-screen-capture-software/ i tried Spyshelter, some time back, but the annoying alerts, put me off...

Thanks @YB.. I read about, if I remember correct, about a new Apple device or so, causing an explosion and some serious injury to the user.. My usage of Li-ion battery is only with my Acer Laptop, for which I go with the recommended charger (which as far as I know does'nt have any protection for overcharge/discharge).. Yes, since, manufacturer's accessories (esp. battery/charger) are costlier, normally go with compatible make's, under warranty, and w/o any issues, so far..But, now, I will be more cautious in regard to make/models and protection to go with.. Thanks, once again..

Any neutral view on this?..

With line of thought for merging MBAM & MBAE, also curious to know what future policy path would be?

Thanks @Aura.. Avast has been my primary protection.. With Webroot said to work alongside existing AV, this was added. Emsisoft is the 3rd one, I'm trying out, which did help in clearing some PUP's / registry detections.. All 3 are on realtime protection level. Webroot does'nt need any updation (being cloud-based protection).. while there has been no problems with updation of the other two, If I were given a choice, though I'm impressed with Emsisoft, I will stick with my primary Avast protection.. The one problem (maybe not related to running of multiple AV's) is the 'Secure DNS' feature of Avsst, which is a bit un-predictable and interfere with network connectivity (needing frequent turning 'ON/OFF' of the 'Secure DNS' option).. Anyway, Avast it will be.. But is it OK in adding Webroot to it, beng a cloud based protection?

Due to the chrome problem, I have been trying to rule out any problem with my system and carrying./ carried out systen checks with multiple AV;s and y;day had 4 AV's (Avast, Webroot, Emsisoft, Panda) wuth MBAE running simultaneously.. Since, Panda cloud cleaner was a one-off run, I still continue to run the other 3 AV's with MBAE in tandem.. Though, I haven't had any problems so far, is this OK? Tks. in advance..

Joan Boez, an incredible artist with an acclaimed career.. Tks @DD1 !!

Excellent news.. A big relief, indeed and waiting for it's logical conclusion..

Will miss you Natalie Cole, David Bowie.. You have left a lasting name with your music.. RIP..

"The true beauty of oxymorons," says Richard Watson Todd, "is that, unless we sit back and really think, we happily accept them as normal English." Todd illustrates his point in the following passage: It was an open secret that the company had used a paid volunteer to test the plastic glasses. Although they were made using liquid gas technology and were an original copy that looked almost exactly like a more expensive brand, the volunteer thought that they were pretty ugly and that it would be simply impossible for the general public to accept them. On hearing this feedback, the company board was clearly confused and there was a deafening silence. This was a minor crisis and the only choice was to drop the product line. (Much Ado About English.

I have found this to be due to MBAE.. By default, IE run will trigger, both 32 & 64 bit mbae dll injections, irespective of the process type.. if the 32-bit & 64-bit versions of any other application (say.. Slimjet) have the same executable (slimjet.exe), with MBAE running, MBAE will, due to same executable, will relate the application with the first triggered process & it's dll injection.. If the executables for 32-bit & 64-bit are different and shielded separately, one can then run 32-bit & 64 bit processes of Slimjet side-by-side (with separate protection) w/o any problem..(presently, there is a problem with 64-bit run, so 64-bit process will open, but no browsing will be possible). This topic, may thus be moved under MBAE..

Today, out of necessity, I first ran the 32-bit version of Slimjet browser and when it was still running fine, tried to check the run of it's 64-bit version of the browser.. This triggered a new run of the browser, in a separate window, but of the 32-bit version only.. So, there were 2 runs of 32-bit version of Slimjet (instead of a 32-bit & 64 bit runs).. Could there be any reason for it? Tks. in advance..

Yes.. 32-bit Chrome works.. When Avast Safezone browser was working (based on Chrome engine), I would have got this, if I had checked the process explorer for the specific dll injection type, and it sure now points to 32-bit dll injection and no wonder, now Slimjet & Chrome are fine under 32-bit.. So, All, you can now remain with 1185 build, with 32-bit Chrome, until problem with 64-bit is taken care of by @Pedro..

Wah.. I decided to check with 32-bit and 32-bit Slimjet works.. No problem at all. So, all please check with 32-bit Chrome (Slimjet being based on Chrome engine, Chrome 32-bit also should work, anyway I will also check Chrome too).. Phew.. that was really a find.. @Pedro, the problem now seems to be isolated to 64-bit Chrome.. Hope this helps..

Will this force shift from XP?

Microsoft readies Kill Switch for IE 8, 9, 10 with last EOL update coming Tuesday 12th Jan.. Is IE 11 then mandatory for support?

The Driver after getting all of Pope John Paul's luggage loaded into the limo (and he doesn't travel light), noticed that the Pope was still standing on the curb. "Excuse me, Your Eminence," said the driver, "Would you please take your seat so we can leave?" A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. He walks up to them and says' Can I join you?' Two atoms were walking down the street. One atom says to the other one, "I've lost an electron! The 2nd atom replies, "Are you sure?" Says the 1st atom, "I'm positive." ---------------------------------- Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary, system manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor, longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there, doing spreadsheets. Having reached the bottom line, I took a floppy from the drawer. Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the "save" command and waited for the disk to store, only this and nothing more. Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more. "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!" One thing did the phosphors answer only this and nothing more, just, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" With my fingers pale and trembling, slowly toward the keyboard bending, longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored, Praying for some guarantee, timidly I pressed a key. But on the screen there still persisted, words appearing as before. Ghastly grim they blinked and taunted, haunted, as my patience wore, saying, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" There I sat, distraught, exhausted; by my own machine accosted. Getting up, I turned away, and paced across the office poor. And then I saw a dreadful sight: a lightning bolt cut through the night. A gasp of horror overtook me, shook me to my very core. The lightning zapped my previous data, lost and gone forevermore. Not even, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
