One of my security programmes is giving me the option to block or remove this: C\Windows\System32\msfeedssync.exe Is this spyware? Just came up after booting.

billbonza,

Check to see if the program has a Service Running.

Change Service from Autostart to Disable and Reboot.

I have anti-animation installed. But I just had a look. It would drive me crazy, having that in the corner of my vision whilst looking at Rick's (excellent) posts. :)
