Re: MS anti-spyware annoyance



I had the same annoyance and I am aware of the option to uncheck alerts. My
question is by uncheckling these alerts, does that mean everything will be
allowed or will they still be blocked and I just won't see the pop-up giving
me an option to block or not? My objective is to block everything I am asked
about because I never know what they are for.
