It was the same link you clicked on David.I cant understand it,I have tried again and the same happened.I must have something conflicting.I can see by the photo you took David that everything is all right on yours. .

I have done some research at Wot and found out what is going on.I visited this site on 29/11/08 and left this comment.On the bottom of the page on dcom bobulator there is a link,does your windows vista need a tune up,start by clicking here.I clicked the header for vista tune up instead of de combobulator and it led to a triple red circle wot curtain.Because it does not say sponsered link some people may think this the vendors link.So I give a orange for caution........Because I gave a orange caution and my settings are set to trigger on orange it warned me.Anyway it goes to show that Wot works.It needs a lot of folks votes to alter a rating. .

It's probably the banner ad. Don't click on them.

I have also leaned the hard way that most google sponsered links are bad news. .I have also removed my rating on this one,but I had given it three green circles.I was probably annoyed that the banner took me to were I did not want to go and gave it one orange.

A2 Free version 4.0  12-17-08
  now includes the Ikarus antivirus scanning engine. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

[DavidR]

I think if anything that makes a-squared less of an option as an anti-spyware, unless it can be installed without and anti-virus element.

now includes the Ikarus antivirus scanning engine

it's just a scanner....not realtime like avast and such
but a-squared is known for false positives in the past

[DavidR]

Some of these so called 'just a scanner' have a service running so you can do a right click context menu scan, and you never really know what is running under the surface.

As you say the a-squared anti-spyware was never anything to write home about and I doubt the inclusion of Ikarus AV will do much to change that

I'm not sure if it is must be done. Once ST 2.5 appeared, I installed it and it crashed my Vista. I reinstalled the OS, reinstalled ST 2.5, and it crashed Vista again - it simply blocked some vital startup processes. I came back to version 2.3 and since that time I have no problems.

Is there any useful information into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Events, specially 'Errors'?

[George Yves]

Vista was freezing for 2-3 minutes at start-up and then continued telling me that it couldn't connect to Events Log; Avast didn't start and Vista informed me that I have no antivirus protection at all on my PC; Vista Sidebar widgets didn't start either; Java Runtime Environment (JRE) became unavailable and I couldn't use any macroses and some extensions in OpenOffice.org; Vista couldn't see my built-in modem and I lost Internet connection; and so on, and so on. My OS looked like an old man dying in a hospice.
