Hello Everyone!
I have a strange problem on my compute and hope someone can help me.
My OS is Windows 95.
This happened after I installed a software called spybot.
It's a adware/spyware remover program.
I think after spybot cleaned my harddrive, it also changed it.
What happened is when I start up my computer a box would appear asking me if
I want to uninstall Picperks and all it's componets.
*Picperks is a picture viewer.
I don't want to uninstall that program.
My guess is maybe that picture
viewer program contains some type of adware...
and maybe spybot is asking to get rid of it.
I would like to know if anyone knows how to bypass that message?
I do prefer to keep both of those programs unless there's no way
around it.
Thank you

Launch Spybot and go inot it's options settings and make sure it is set to *Not*
run at start up.
