    CSI 1 & 2 worked well, so of course they had to change that with the new version 3...

    They changed the interface, removed the tray-click options (can't right-click and update it anymore, you have to open it and dig through two menus). Worst of all, it can't be shut down - the option is gone.

    It also causes my system to often restart when I try to shut down Windows, but I guess that's a system-specific bug. (Unless this, too, is some sort of "new feature" that v3 added :\)

    But the lack of shut-down option is the real deal breaker. Well, so much for CSI on my system, then, here goes "uninstall". Too bad they had to break what worked.

    Click tray icon then click 'check for updates' (bottom right of GUI)

    Right-click tray icon, click 'stop protection', scroll to 'enable on reboot'

    Not sure which version you have but on mine 3.0.1.62 it has all those options.

    Right click the tool bar icon left click Configure Protection and the update option is clearly visible and right clicking the tool bar icon provides the stop protection option.o_O

    If the options aren't showing for you, right click on the tray icon and click Stop Protection then scroll down to the bottom of the list and select "Remove Protection", then the Stop Protection button.

    The menu should then re-appear, but let me know if you see anything differently :)

    It is indeed a bit of a "runaround" - I'll see what we can do with adding a more logical option for this :)
