Ancien, thank you for your advise. It is true that I
continue to depend too much on my old WinMe. I
agree with what someone here at annoyance.org
told me one day.."WinMe is like an old car that you
cannot find parts for it any longer"..or something
like that.
I agree.
Still, I continue to be baffled by the sudden change
that occurred during only three days. I ran a scan on
a Friday for example, and on Monday I started getting that message.
But I guess I finally have to accept that it is a brand
new rule by Trend Micro. So be it.
Thanks for your message and time Ancien.
