no.. it has crashed my computer a couple of times.. cuase i'll be doing something..... in photoshop or plaing a game.. and then all the sudden it would pop up.. and crash everything..

 

what I don't like about it is that I can't shut it off completely... it turns itself back on... always dislike it when you can't take full control of stuff

 

I crashed my car because you told me to put an airfreshener in it.

 

mine is shut off completely... all it does is leave an icon on the taskbar and pop up a window saying bla bla bla is disabled when I first boot up...thats it.

 

you can have it not pop-up. I had Zone Alarm Pro (the one you pay for). I hated it.

 

You fell for his air freshener trojan

 

[QUOTE=CaptKirk,Sep 15 2006, 02:44 PM] You can spin it, but you won't make any power past ~8200 I think.

 

Uninstall it, n00b.

 

then what you do is - say yes or no, whatever you need to do and click "remember my decision". then it doesn't pop up next time, until you get a new patch for the game.

the real reason you're crashing is because your low memory makes your system more susceptible to freezing - you really need a min of 512MB for XP to run without hassles.

feel free to take it off, it's your computer - just be aware that you're nekkid for all the spam script kiddies, the stuff can occasionally get through the routers...

unfortunately keeping computers secure is a bit of work...

 

have you checked whether their Services are still running? the version I had (albeit a while ago) didn't shut off all the services...
