I can't believe how upset people are getting over this silly problem. I agree, it needs to be fixed, and I might even agree that an interim update to break WebRep entirely would be better than allowing it to go on for a week, but really.....why the anger? It's a nuisance, not a real problem, and the workaround is STUPID easy. Have a cigarette, spend 30 seconds reading the posts here, and you'll be able to fix the problem.
If you want something to get upset about, you could have had AVG, which made every single Windows 7 x64 machine permanently bluescreen after a particular update. THAT is a problem which merits anger! This one.......not so much.
