I bought this computer thru the paper, which has XP Pro
already on it (which I found out is not a licensed copy!)
and everytime I click the START icon to shut the computer
down, NEW PROGRAMS INSTALLED pops up where the ALL
PROGRAMS button is; BUT I HAVEN'T INSTALL ANY NEW
PROGRAMS ON IT IN WEEKS! I am unable to get the Windows
update because this has an invalid product key. I have
Norton AV and Kerio Personal Firewall, along with medium
security thru the XP. How do I make this stop popping up?
Also had Kazaa MediaDesktop on here, but somewhat removed
it. Add/Remove Pgms wont let me remove it; says it cannot
be removed. HELP!! PLEASE! Thanks...frustrated Libra928
 
right-click the start menu>>Properties>>Start Menu Tab>>Customize
button>>Advanced Tab>>uncheck "highlight newly installed programs"

Thank you so much, Nathan!! Here's one more for ya;
trying to remove Kazaa Media Desktop 205, but Add/Remove
says that "InstallShield has encountered a problem and
needs to close"> Do I have to download it again so that I
may get the uninstall program, then go back to Add?Remove
Pgms and try to remove it AGAIN? I hate the spyware; I
got hit with the blasterworm right after I downloaded
that program. Now I use WinMX...Libra
