Unasked for launch
 
Daughter is using a WinME machine and it has suddenly started launching
Outlook Express without being asked to.

The machine is running AVG and that has come up clean also running
Ad-Aware is clean wondering where to look to troubleshoot this next.

Nothing new has been added in the last few days the machine is up-to-date
with Updates so a mystery knowing where to look for answers g

Perhaps you can ask AVG technical support for assistance.

Why does she need to ask AVG technical support for assistance? All she said
was after running AVG, the machine is clean of viruses.

Passing the buck, eh? If you don't know the answer, maybe you should
just not reply to the post.

Thanks Tom, I've just asked him why g

Strange thing is it had been happening on and off all day even happened 3
times while I was running an AVG scan of the machine, which took about 40
minutes and came up clean, but I posted here and it didn't happen again
and she closed down about 7.30 pm so I've got to wait until the morning to
see if it starts again.

Yes and there's nothing unusual in there.
