Can't turn off Instant Messaging Provider

Okay, I don’t really need the instant messaging provider. I switch it off and select yes when asked to persist and after reboot the IM provider is back on. Is this a problem?

Helllloooooohooooo?

Sorry, Culpeper… My provider is working ok when I disable it…
What version do you have (4.1.268, 278, 280) ?
Take it easy, foruns are in fire and the avast! fireman are working outside of the office… Wait till tomorrow… :wink:

I’m updated to v280. I can’t keep that IM provider off even when selecting to yes to persist changes. Upon reboot it is on again.

Man, you aren’t going to believe this but I tried the following. I disabled the IM provider again after reboot and selected YES to persist the change. Then I started the IM provider and selected YES to persist the change. I then rebooted the machine and now the IM provider is off. I’m not kidding. Do you guys have the switches for this thing reversed? ::slight_smile:

Sounds like you have it backwards or upside down ;D

Not me! I’ve checked and double checked.

I believe you… Bugs happens…
Wait a little. Everything will be fine tomorrow… 8)

Cool! :smiley:

Not me!  I've checked and double checked. 

Humor my friend Humor…when stuff like that happens its almost so insignificant we might as well get a good laugh.

What, we me worry? ;D

I agree with you. Just laugh :smiley:

Hmm, intresting indeed. Anyway, if you just want to disable the IM thing for good, you can just uinstall it - it’s no possible via the Add/Remove Programs feature in Control Panel (click avast and select Change).

BTW, Culperer, would you mind narrowing your ‘fetch doggie’ lady picture a few pixels? It’s preventing your posts from being displayed properly (at least on my machine).

Thanks,

Hey culpeper, listen Vlk, thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

Okay, I’ll make her smaller. Don’t you like her? She’s delivering you a message?
