Please see the attached composite screen shots image.
I originally installed only File, Web, Network, Script and Behavior Shields and nothing else as evidenced by the screenshot I recorded at the time.
Yesterday I noticed a dysfunctional Mail Shield appeared in my Security Summary on both my systems.
When I opened the Configuration in the Programs and Features Control Panel, there was not only a check mark for Mail Shield but for SecureLine as well.
Fortunately, both seem to have responded well to their un-installs.
Needless to say, such behavior (along with the CreditAlert “disappearing gui” issue) is distressing.
Thank you.
PS - Opinions as to the merits/failings of installed components choices should be addressed by creating another topic.
