Hi All; I was playing around with my PC - as usual ... and I discovered something interesting ... I was playing with the start up list tool in Spybot ... anyway, I had NikonView.exe loading up at start up ... and decided to remove it with this tool ... Well it seem that this tool creates multiple streams to effect this ... instead of editing the registry. So for those that are sceptic as to whether the Worm Guard service is running successfully ... or that the test button proof isn't enough ... simply use the Spybot start up tool ... to modify an entry ... reboot and Voila! BTW: I did remove this service the proper way. Ps. I'm not that technical so ... experts please correct me if I'm wrong. Dog -
