    I have downloaded and registered this program over 2 weeks ago and re-registered twice since and still have not recieved confirmation, has anyone had this experience with them also? I have e-mailed them twice and recieved no response.? Any feedback on them would be appreciated.

    No I have never had a problem with them, and no one has ever reported any problems like this in this forum.

    thanks for the reply, any one else having a problem getting the icon in the task tray, what did you do?

    The icon was in the task tray when I first downloaded the program; I looked for settings, and found none; has anyone ever removed it intentionally? Maybe that would give me a clue. Thanks, Lafitte33

    Perhaps you some how removed a process from your startup list. Unless you know which process, a reinstall may be the easiest fix.

    I checked with the task manager and miconfig, found it running, but that is in the startup folder so it should be, determining that the "resident" program(which is actually just a setting) I don't think shows up isolated. I thought the same thing you said, uninstall/reinstall. I'm surprised that they have not answered me. Thanks for your time.

    When uninstalling, I would reboot after uninstall, cleanup any folders of theirs, and then reinstall. See where things stand after that.

    As far as answers to questions, I don't believe they (or AVG and others for that matter) provide support for the free versions of their software. Can't blame them.
