    so you right click the tray icon , disable protection, then double click on the red icon and don't get the service is not started message? are you using windows 10?

    What rules should I add into SecureAPlus' command line menu? Is there anything I should change in that menu that would make it better?

    Ditto my #276. Windows 7. You should report your issue to WinPatrol. Can you restart WAR? Then you're OK.

    In the meantime, remember the old joke...
    Patient: When I do this, it hurts.
    Doctor: Don't do that.

    Haakon. yes I am able to restart service but as I mentioned for all the times I clicked on the red icon a new instance opened in the back ground and did not show all instances till I restarted protection. maybe wait and see if any other win 10 users are seeing this.

    That announcement came down in the WinPatrol News letter via Constant Contact that Bret uses. I don't know how to link to it or even remember how and when I signed up for it. Bret probably migrated me from the "Bits from Bill" I used to get as I own also WinPatrol and WinPrivacy licenses.

    Here's a screen shot from the news letter:

    An age-old saw comes to mind: You snooze, you loose. ;)

    I installed the latest version in my W10 machine and I had some problems; my computer wont restart or shutdown with WinAntiRansom installed and I had trouble with task manager and performance too.

    It seems that it doesnt play well with Eset Smart Security 9 ...

    Using this link, you can get the 5 life time licenses for $23.xx. I won't even install but keep it around should I feel I need it. It is July 1!

    I've downloaded and installed, and although my system seems as zippy as ever, I prefer to disable this but I can't find a way to do it in its GUI. Thank you!

    Ratchet, thanks for the link. You've probably already figured it out, but from the program's tray application you can select "Stop WinAntiRansom Protection".
