Well take another look WebSpyder and tell me that is not the OS I have circled

John, if you look to the right it says its the sidebar (or gadgets). You want to keep that checked if you use gadgets.

There are a few others like Skydrive, StikyNotes and MSE which may also be listed as the MS OS, but no critical System services appear in the Startup list.

Sorry jamtin mate I was not correct in thinking the OS was the actual OS if you open it sideways it shows just th sidebar so just untick it again mate.

But I am still leaving my Kaspersky ticked come whatever LOL!!

Oh arrived 1978 from Sussex, and just trying to find somewhere to stay as I am going to visit my folks in Wiltshire in April - hopefully:)

Gooday again. Somewhere there is advice to update the BIOS/MOBO. How does one do that?
