Hi Carol,
With all due respect, I also know what I'm doing. You've only got to look at
any of my other posts to see that. So I think your criticism is totally unjustified
especially in the manner in which it was written.
As for PC health and Tuneup, you can disable those via the Scheduled Tasks menu
in System Tools although I would advise Frank to run PCHealth on startup. A single
tuneup on startup does no harm at all.
