I've also experienced the Nod32 icon gone missing once. None of these issues were present in vista though. Everything is set to " Not Configured ". I'll change it to disabled for now and see if it prevents this bug from happening. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate X64 RTM CPU Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz Motherboard Abit IP35-E Memory 8GB DDR2-800 Graphics Card GTX285 1GB Sound Card Creative X-Fi Extreme Music Monitor(s) Displays Samsung T220 PSU Silverstone Zues 750ZF Case Lian Li PC-P80 Cooling Thermalright Ultra 120-Extreme Hard Drives Samsung F1 Spinpoint 1TB |

How does it connect to the desktop? Like, PCI, USB, what?
