Long as I'm in the Forum, someone the otherday was having AH closing due to unknown problems. Also, it seemed to trigger update reports, or so it seemed.
What was happening was that he not only had autoupdates set for AV, but had it inform him when done by generating a Popup. I have for years disabled Popup notifications as a matter of course, and don't allow any messenger on the opsys I run AH and other realtime communicators under.
BTW, after checking his settings and setting to do not notify, his problem seemed to resolve. Thank God he didn't do the reg and remove procedures some were suggesting. A basic law of survival for people that aren't computer competent/confident is always start with the easiest and most reversible "fixes" available, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS backup your registry and important programs/data before doing "simple" registry/process/devices management.
