I regret posting my previous comment ... the direction is becoming too personal and that is not what this forum is for.
My basic point is that if you want help in this forum you need to interact in a positive way with those trying to assist you. If you do not want help then withdraw from the thread - do not be dismissive and try to demonstrate a superiority of knowledge or question the motives of persons providing much support here. It does not make you look good and more importantly nobody is getting helped and an important issue is not being moved forward.
Thanks. I'm happy to drop the direction that was going in. Please don't do that again. :'( Doesn't
feel very welcoming. I'm new here. Glad to know this isn't going to be how things go ususally.
And btw, as a computer tech, I know how absolutely insane things begin to feel with repeated
posts about the same thing....it gets redundant. Perhaps a forum for the tech people to vent
would help? (if, of course, you don't already have that)
I did not intend any kind of "dissmissive" comment in any kind of personal way.
I am still waiting for an answer to a simple question: how do I make AdAware AdWatch not block the
Avast icon in the systray.
This question has been repeatedly avoided, and not answered. I have been trying to clarify as
to whether or not there is any knowledge about how to make different security programs
specifically, programs other than Avast, what you support here stop blocking that icon.
I have not seen any knowledge of how to do it with the one program I mentioned, so I was just
trying to see if it was worth it to even list other security programs.
And....this is
very important: I have stated, repeatedly, there is no need to answer me
further, as I am okay with the shortcut in startup solution. If there is a more permanent solution,
then of course, I'd rather use that.
How am I not "interact[ing] in a positive way with those trying to assist you. If you do not want help then withdraw from the thread - do not be dismissive and try to demonstrate a superiority of knowledge or question the motives of persons providing much support here. " ?
And I did not realize there was any kind of "superiority of knowledge" going on in my posts. The only thing
I can think of is when I said "I already know how to move a shortcut into my startup folder. I said I am using that already." How is that superior? I used the knowledge imparted by the people here to do that neat little trick
to temporarily solve the problem. Just wanted to be sure the guy helping me knew I got that already.
Please point out to me where I'm coming off to you as "superior" ... it is not intended.
The tenor of my posts have been to
clarify and to get a specific answer. Which was never addressed.
That's frustrating to a poster, but I'm not becoming personal about it. At least as far as I can tell, I'm not.
Please point out to me where I am, in your opinion, so I can look at them and edit if necessary.
By the by, do you know anything about the settings on AdAware AdWatch, and if so, do you know how to
make that particular program stop blocking the Avast Icon? (I have already made the corrections to
Windows Defender so it isn't blocking it anymore, as per instructions to someone else in another thread.)
Just let me know, please, if you aren't aware of the specific settings. I don't expect people who
support Avast to know every security program out there. I'd just like a direct answer: yes or no.
And please, never say that my thanks are "clearly unfelt thanks". That's really not fair.
Thank you, alanrf, for your attention to this.
