Wonder if you clicked on it through your sys tray to enable it? Doesn't it
usually re-enable it's self if you reboot?

Subject: [Blind-Computing] installation has knocked security out
Hi, I uninstalled and reinstalled the mirc4life software on the vista
computer. This is my boyfriend's personal computer. One thing to note here
is that he logs onto his computer with user name and password, so I assume
that puts him in a mode where he would have to give administrative
permission for a program to install, or at least to install properly. He had
initially said he never gives anything administrative permission, and he
really honestly doesn't install much onto his computer, so I can see how
he's gotten away with that in the past. Regardless, though, we did try
reinstalling mirc4life and we permitted it to install when it asked for
administrative permission to do so. No further passwords or anything were
needed in that process. Everything went fine,and mirc4life is working like
it should be, but it's completely screwed up his mcafee antivirus/security
program. Here's what happened after the installation. We shut down and
restarted the computer. When I was logged in, I opened mirc4life, and there
was a baloon that showed up saying that the computer was at risk because the
security on his computer was disabled. That was the first indication of the
issue. How do we go about enabling something like that again and also is
there any rhyme or reason why this would happen with a program installation
that has been given administrative permission granted to it?
Any ideas, suggestions etc. would be appreciated greatly.
Thank you,
Kate
