  In fact falling AVG can be a good idea, because he seems to have joined Norton, McAfee,
  TrendMicro, Kaspersky and others who appear to be bloated and cause a lot of unusual problems.

  If you uninstall these type programs, and make sure you run the removal tools.

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective version.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• Sidebar Gadgets "Widgets" gets not WMI information?

  I used Sidebar on XP Home SP3 machine for a few months.  I had pieces of an old installation of Norton Systemworks running on the machine that has not been deleted in the normal uninstall process.  I recently could finally remove the persistent parties.  But after doing so part of the Sidebar gadgets 'widgets' for HD discs, wired network traffic, etc., no longer work.  Some now display a message, "No. WMI information for readers", etc.  Even the entries in some gadgets settings are not saved after the entry.  I see nothing in WMI that indicates I'm not provide the access/information necessary for these applications of gadget.  Can someone tell me what I could do to restore this exchange of information on my system?

  Many people, I gave up.  I pulled a bought Windows 7.  Let me warn you that you will not be able to quickly see all the information and the activity happening on your computer as you would with XP.  But I guess I'm going to get used to it as I have more restrictions on execution of gadgets and other problems I had.

  Most expensive solution that I was hoping but maybe I will be chugging along for awhile now, with little, or problem now.  I find a lot of things with Windows 7 you need to do yourself.  Say not as many ways for him to do something and make it happen.  Oh, well, good luck for the rest of you who are hooked up with XP.
